I am looking to build a new PC, reusing as much from my 7 year old build as possible. This is the list I came up with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pPC9FG. I am reusing my case, PSU, HDD and optical drive. It is mostly for 1080p gaming, but nothing too hardcore. Thoughts on the build? Is anything overkill or bottlenecking? Do I need a new PSU? It is more than 7 years old at this point.
 
Solution
Just a couple tweaks (RAM and SSD). On the new PSU.....hard to say. Right now isn't the best time to buy PC hardware in general because of COVID.

Solution
The SSD I linked is better performance.

The FlareX RAM kits were generally marketed toward Ryzen systems since they contained Samsung B-die memory chips. While I didn't confirm that this specific kit had Samsung B-die chips, it is €6 cheaper than the kit you linked with the same MHz and CAS.
