Improving from old system. Workstation/Gaming station.

Previously this year my pc decided to stop working. I don't know the cause of the technical fault, so i've come to accept that i just didn't give it enough hugs. 

 

So finally after some saving i can rebuild a system. Unfortunately i'm located in Australia which is a giant pain due to less availability of parts. 

 

So this is what i have so far.

 

Part Cost Link
ASRock H310CM-HDV mATX PCIe x16 HDMI DVI-D D-Sub USB 3.1 79
Intel Core i5 9400F 6 Core LGA1151 2.9GHz CPU Processor 225
Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) HX426C16FB2K2/1 HyperX Fury 2666Mhz DDR4 RAM 119
Cougar MX330 Windowed Mid Tower ATX Case - Black 55
Thermaltake 750W Smart BX1 RGB 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply 113
Kingston 480GB SSD 2.5in SSDNow A400 75
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB CPU Cooler 79

 

The astute may have noticed a lack of OS and GPU and hard-drive, hopefully i can bring those from my previous system. 

 

Gigabyte 6gb GTX 1060
Seagate harddrive 2TB 7200rpm
Seagate harddrive 3TB 7200rpm
SSD 120 GB with operating system

 

Are the parts from my previous system. 

 

Dose anyone have any critiques or any recommendations? How hard is it to get a OS of a SSD into a new system? Should i save 120$ and build/put it together myself or let a pro do it? How was your day, hope it was nice?

Not a good CPU, bad motherboard, bad SSD, overkill PSU, AIO is not needed either.

 

You should go for a 3600+b450, a 550w PSU, Crucial MX500 SSD/Sabrent, no air cooler needed if you go Ryzen too.

Really good build,but i think the RAM can be better for slightly more:

Would a 550w PSU also be okay when i add the 2 harddrive and GTX 1060

a 550w PSU would be enough for a 9900k + 2080ti + 5 HDDs  while still having some to give. 

 

so no need to get anything more than a high quality 550w
