PC Upgrade with previous/old PSU

[MortnMX]

Hi everybody, 

 

i have a quick question regarding my current plan to upgrade my current PC:

Intel i5-2500K (LGA 1155 Socket H2) (04/2012)
Alpenföhn Broken (04/2012)
ASUS P8P67 B3 (04/2012)
16GB DDR3 RAM (04/2012)
ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 ROC Stri (11/2016)

--> 680W be quiet! Straight Power CM BQT E9-CM-680W 80PLUS Gold (04/2012) <--

The current state is something like:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory

Probably with a new Case and an M.2.

 

Now to the Question:

I think from the point of power output the PSU should be sufficient, i´m not (yet) planning on overclocking (hence also no other CPU cooler).

But regarding the age of the PSU i´m not so sure if that really makes it worse. At least it´s not a no name brand and i hoped i can still use it with the new setup.

 

Can anybody help me with that?

 

Thanks in advance and also i´m free for other suggestions about the setup and perhaps what case. I´m still uncertain about which one (should be < ~100€/$, silent, dustfiltering, and not to big)

it was good for it's time, but rather old by todays standards, i'd recommend to take back a bit on the board and invest in a new psu personally

What would be a bad think what could happen if i´m not buying a new PSU. Is it just that at some point it´s not delivering enough power or could there be worse things.

The PSU also never ran under any high load, if you see my current configuration.

I´m not sure what you want to tell me with that.
