Question New build, want opinions :)

[waffles1321]

I have just come up with a little bit of cash and decided I will make a new PC with a few old parts, so far I have gotten hold of 32gbs of memory for Free and a 3070 for a cheap price I have gone on Pcpartpicker and picked these parts for it, I am keeping my old power supply but it does say it might be an issue, missing a 8pin. please let me know your thoughts on this before i purchase and missed or could get something better

Is it worth getting 64GB RAM new? maybe try the 32 see if I need 64 later on?

The CPU I want to get is, but not sure if i should get a Ryzen and a different mobo? ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-i5-1...0BCF5CZ16/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 )
Will the S1700 work with a LGA1700 mobo?

Keeping my MOBO and Powersupply

I am keeping my old power supply

Reuse a garbage orange label Corsair VS is a bad idea! For a 3070 you need a decent PSU with at least 650w https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product...-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-mpx-7503-afag

Noted, I have added it and it has also gotten rid of the 8-PIN problem

Do you see anything wrong with e CPU I am looking at?

You can go AM4 with a 5700X3D cpu but 4 sticks of RAM might be a problem for stable operation.

I will prob stay with the I5

Does the S1700 matter with this MOBO?

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 3 GHz 8-Core Processor what would be better?​

Gaming and watching movies I think im gonna go with the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/F8CvVF seems like a better option and prob in a few months time swap the 4 cards of ram to two cards

My budget for MOBO and CPU are around £360, with the Asus dual OC GeForce rtx 3070 8gb
I got a Asus ROG strig B450-F gaming atm but i know i cant do much OC with it, if i want to experiment
