My current build was built in summer of 2009.  I am hoping I can use my existing case, a Cooler Master Sileo 500 (link).  

 

Do not need

• Case (link)
• Mouse
• Keyboard
• Printer
• Monitor
• HDDs
• Blu-ray drive
• OS

Need

• PSU
• Motherboard
• CPU
• GFX card
• Memory
• SSD for primary drive (256GB should do, other storage will be existing HDD and NAS)

My primary uses of this computer are:  (++ being most important, I do these task often and + being occasionally do these task, acceptable performance ok)

++ General use (web browsing, video viewing, MS Office, etc)

++ Video Editing and encoding

++ Photo editing (Photoshop, Picasa, etc)

+ 3D CAD (SolidWorks)

Thanks for the replies.    I'm curious if I could still use my PSU.   This is the model I have.  CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-620HX

That cooler won't be any better than the stock one.

 

The psu isn't great plus you only need 550W for a single gpu. The CXM (Grey label) is a better budget option.

As long as it is working fine then you should be ok to reuse it.
