Hello everybody, i would like to ask some help with an older PSU.
So here is the story, I have a friend who asked me to help puttig together a new computer, because its slow nowadays, but there are some parts what he wants to keep from the old one, saving some money. Here is the old:
PSU:COOLERMASTER Thermal Master 500W TM500-PSAPI3-IT,
MOBO:Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-US2H,
PROC: AMD Phenom x2 555 3.2Ghz
MEM: smg 4 GB DDR3
He is not really into gaming, so no extra vga necessary right now, maybe later, but the integrated intel 630 should be fine for older games. Normally he is watching movies with 5.1 sound, and he has a camera program to check his shop regularly. Here is what i planned so far. Everything goes into the old case, because thats a normal tower with lots of space and he plans around 3 hdds extra.
Intel Core i5-9600K
Gigabyte B365M AORUS ELITE,
Kingston 480GB SA400S37/480G SSD,
Kingston 2x8GB DDR4 2666MHz HyperX FURY
And here comes my question: could we keep the older PSU for these components or he needs a new one? Actually i already mentioned a Corsair 450W (CX450 CP-9020120-EU). But if its not necessary he would keep the old one, its a few years old but dusty.
Another question, with these new motherboard and SATA3, could we able to re-use the actual SATA2 HDD and DVD-ROM? i think the dvd has the older "big white" power connector from the psu, so i have no idea if that works or not.
Well, thank you if some of you have some time. Peace!
