New computer build - need help

[Ubiquiti]

Hello,

 

I am building a new PC, but to save costs, I'm recycling a few parts from my old pc.

I was wondering if there would be any compatibility issues or suboptimal performance because I'm using kind of random hardware.

Also, I would like to know if the new parts that I'll be using are a good value/choice 

Here's the list of all the components

• old components
  • EVGA Geforce GTX 970
  • Corsair CX430 power supply 
  • Random seagate 4 tb hdd
• New components
  • image from pcpartpicker attached

Do you think it will work fine?

Should I add other parts or scrap (some of) my old parts?

I'm kind of a noob when building new pc's so any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!

 

Have a wonderful day

looks fine, although i would drop the 970 evo and get a much cheaper ssd. You won't really see any difference in day to day use.

Thanks, I will look into getting a cheaper one. I also have a SATA ssd laying around but I think M.2 will give me a significant speed boost

M.2 is a interface like USB-c and may not increase speed.Some M.2 SSD's still use the SATA interface which means they offer no reall speed benefit

nvme only really offers significant benefits for sequential read/write, such as video editing or moving large files.

booting, playing games, or other daily activities won't really be able to take advantage of the speed. If M.2 format is important to you, theres several other SATA III m.2's or even other nvme m.2's that are cheaper than the 970 evo

Currently looking at other options, thanks for the tip, it will save me some money!

the speed boost will not be noticeable unless you are doing heavy video editing or something similar that access alot of meory very quickly

in most cases like when booting up your system the time difference will be under 0.5 seconds

Did you prefer the Corsair 270R over the newer 275R?

Yes I wasn't fully sold on the corsair case and decided to go with the NZXT H500 instead

You could certainly get away with a B450 Pro 4 or Fatal1ty for a savings on the MOBO, or grab a Tomahawk in a similar price range.
