PC Build opinions

[kpjo]

Hi guys I'm looking for second opinions on a build here, I went to r/buildmeapc for some build options, and I got one that looks alright.

 

My budget is $1100, I did ask if I could reuse my current PSU which is Corsair 600W 80+ Bronze Cert ATX, I'm not sure if I should get a nicer one or just reuse.  Also I might need a hard disk drive, my current one is actually close to being full, but I'm wondering if it's fine to go without one.  Any advice is welcomed, thanks!

 

Here's the suggested build I got:

I recently had my old psu die so I bought a new one, however I am going to build a new system and even though my new psu is about 3 months old I would not consider using it in my new build. I would not use your old psu and also go for at the very least a gold rated psu. Are you planning to overclock? if not you do not need a motherboard with all the OC features it has so you could go for a cheaper model.

why an 8600k and bona-fide z370 board just to get a cheapo low-end PSU with it?

Is your PC strictly for gaming?

 

Because if it is, then consider this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cvYMbX
