I'm looking to upgrade my old PC and wanted to know if the parts I've chosen will work properly with what I'm going to keep.

The first build is what i currently have and the second is what I want to swap too. Namely the GPU, PSU, RAM and add an NVME. Thanks in advance!

Frankly, you would be better of upgrading CPU and RAM first as they couldn't cope with that new GPU.
CPU- R5 5600x would at least double CPU performance, If as I suspect you game at 1080p 60-75Hz monitor, CPU is most important
RAM- Minimum 2x 8GB @3000MHz., 3200MHz or over could be iffy on b350 chipset MBs. although it could be lowered if not stable. With 1st gen Ryzen it's even iffy-er.
SSD- Any even SATA would be tremendous improvement over HDD. PSU you could keep until you upgrade GPU.
I would first try with those upgrades and look for GPU later.
