Old Power Supply and New Case Advice?

[justintech16]

Hello,

I have two questions for you guys. I'm building a new pc and want to reuse parts from my current pc.

 

- Is it ok to reuse a power supply from 2013 in my new pc? Or is it getting too old to use for another 5ish years? It works fine. It's a Corsair RM750 gold psu from 2013. Current rig: 4770k cpu, gtx 780.   New planned rig: 3900x cpu, rtx 3080.

 

- Any matx case recommendations? Currently have a Fractal Design R4. Thinking about getting a smaller case. Needs a 5.25" bay and two 3.5" slots. Do you guys have any favorites?

 

Thanks!

Well....

 

The PSU is 7 years old, it is a good PSU, but it would be best to get a new one if building an all new high end PC at this point.

 

And it's already 2 years past it's warranty....

Oh, I hadn't thought about the warranty point. Thanks for the input!

Just get a new RMX 750W, they have a 10 year warranty.
