Hello everyone. I am in the process of making a new gaming PC, and want to know what I need to buy. I already have a pre-built Omen PC, but I want to make a new PC. (My pre-built and ideal PC part specs are listed below). For the pre-built PC, i do not have the 1060 anymore, I replaced it with a 1080, and will use that 1080 for my new PC, which I put in the new PC parts list. Also in the pre-built PC there was 1 8GB RAM stick when I got it, but I bought another stick and now the pre-built PC has 2 8GB RAM sticks, which I will transfer to my new PC. I do know that with the case I want for my new PC, there is no optical drive and there is one in the pre-built PC. What I would like to know is what can I use/take from my pre-built PC, and use/Incorporate into my new PC? Also when I got my 1080 I got a CD with some programs on it that greatly help me optimize my gaming experience. Is there any way I can get the programs from the disk on to my new PC even if there isn't a disk slot?

(The 1080 in this list I already have and same goes for the 2 8GB RAM sticks)
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER:
I have read your suggestions and edited my new build list:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FdXrGG
I replaced the following parts in my list:
-replaced CPU cooler with a Scythe - FUMA Rev.B
-replaced my current (2 sticks) of Crucial 8GB RAM sticks with the G.Skill - Ripjaws V series (2x8 GB) DDR4-3200 RAM Sticks
-changed the storage to Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
-changed my case to a Phanteks - ECLIPSE P400S ATX Mid Tower Case
(on pcpartpicker the website says that the Phanteks case can hold my 1080 but it may block drive bays, I looked into it and figured out that this shouldn't be a problem, I figured i would ask; Does this matter since I don't plan on buying anything to fill those drive bays?)
I used your suggestions to create that list. Is that better? Is this the build I should buy instead, or do you have any more suggestions?
