Im building a new computer, reusing some old parts. I just bought A Phanteks p400a. Wondering if it would be a good case choice for this build, also wondering if theres anything else that I should be upgrading instead of reusing. I AM UPGRADING THE GRAPHICS CARD TO A 3070 WHEN THE FOUNDERS EDITION RELEASES.

I have all these parts right now, the 250 gb ssd was one i already had, the samsung ssd is one i recently bought, the gpu is reused, im getting an rtx 3070 and not all coolers come with thermal paste, atleast i dont think, and if they do. they might be really cheap.

Nope, the cooler master hyper 212 i've included comes with a high quality one, so that should work. Seeing as you have all the rest of the parts, then you'll be fine with the p400a. Hope this helps!

That's a decent build, the only real critique that I can make is your SSD's. You had 2 ssds for 80 dollars and 750 gigs of capacity, which is a pretty bad deal. I'd suggest that you go for an entry level 1 terabyte ssd for roughly the same price, but better performance overall.

Also, the thermal paste comes with the cooler, so buying additional thermal paste won't make a difference except for maybe 1 degree celcius.

I'm assuming that the GPU is reused, but I'm not sure which other parts are so don't buy any parts i've included in this list if you already have existing parts.

-edit- Don't buy all those fans, unless you already have them. The corsairs are fine, but the BeQuiet fan should be replaced by a noctua. Also, with the corners I've cut, I've included a hyper 212 Black edition. Don't buy it unless you don't have a cooler already though.

Here is your revised list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/WilliamLu/saved/#view=8xCC6h
