What's your location?

 

Are you able to reuse any parts from your current build?

Hi, will you be reusing some parts? For example I can see in your signature that you have 1TB WD Black + SSD

 

This if you can reuse your storage drives:

If its a real shady psu you should ditch it and get a nicer one. one like this for about 60 usd.
