Hi there, hope I put this in the right category.
I have a setup from 2011 and I'm thinking about updating it. I want to use it for video editing (mostly 1080p in Adobe) and productivity.
The build I have now:
CPU: Intel Core i5 760
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 460
Motherboard: Asus P7P55D-E LX
PSU: Corsair CX500
Housing: NZXT Crafted Lexa S Black (8E-LSNL1-UGB)
HD: Hitachi - Deskstar 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
SSD: Crucial - M4 128GB 2.5"
RAM: I don't know the manufacturer. Specs: Type: DDR3, Size: 16GB, Channel: Dual, NB Frequency: 2138.6 MHz: DRAM Frequency 668.3 MHz
CL,tRCD,tRP: 9 clocks, tRAS: 24 clocs, tRFC 107 clocks.
Build I want to switch to:
*CPU: Ryzen 7 1700x
*CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 CPU
*Motherboard: ASUS Prime X370-A, Socket-AM4
*RAM: HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 8GB (x2)
GPU: Geforce 1050 (75$) / Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Windforce (105$) / Asus dual GTX 1060 3gb OC (150$) / MSI RX 570 4GB (150$)
The components marked with a * is offered together so it's hard for me to change these.
The price in parenthesis is the price I'm paying for it used.
-----------------------
My main question is if I can still use my Corsair CX500 PSU. I have pushed my budget and really don't want to buy another if it's not a must. Pcpartpicker claims my build, if I use the GeForce 1050 Ti, uses 470 watts. How real is the danger of the PSU exploding or destroying my components?
If i need a new PSU, whats the most affordable?
I also wonder if my new build will fit in the NZXT LEXA housing. What about fitting a new PSU?
If i combine my old PSU, HD, SSD and housing, will everything be compatible? And will I need to buy some other components or cables?
Taken the prices in the parenthesis and my video editing use into consideration, what is the most bang for the buck when it comes to GPU?
Can I combine the old and new RAM to get 32 gb?
---------------------------
Would be really happy for answers. Im quite stuck here..

You're newer system will most likely use less power but I'd still upgrade to a better and more efficient power supply,
No you won't be able to combine Ram your older system uses a completely different specification of memory (if won't even fit in the slot)
Your SSD & HD will work no problem but I'd highly suggest upgrading to a bigger and more modern SSD video editing really benefits from quick storage it's expensive but worth it.
Regarding your GPU do you need increased performance and or planning to game? I'd personally go with the 1060 to keep that option available to you.

Hi Lobbers,
For a GPU I would go with a 1060 3gb or a 1060 6gb. You want to somewhat future proof yourself especially with the new 11 series gpus. If possible, I would lean more towards the 1060 6gb but if not the 1060 3gb will do the trick.
The difference is about $50 comparing the best deals.
I left links below for both graphics cards:
1060 3gb:

[quote="mkrogtoft"]Hi, I bought this build now:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I was wondering what PSU I might buy.
Is 500 enough? I want it safe, but as affordable as possible.
So wait, you bought a 1080Ti now? Despite looking at GPUs less than a third of the price of a 1080Ti?
If you got a 1080Ti, you'll definitly need to upgrade your CX500. While the wattage will be fine, it's absolutely not good enough quality to run with an R7 and 1080Ti IMO. Grab a good quality PSU, anything around 500W is fine, I'd probably aim for 550-650W because a good quality unit in that range of wattage will asily last you years, and probably survive through several versions of your PC. I've already used my EVGA 850G2 in 3 different systems(850W because I used to run multi-GPU, it's stupid overkill for what I run now lol).
Also, 2133MHz RAM with Ryzen is a big no-no. Even just setting my RAM to 2666MHz instead of 2133MHz will show a massive improvement with my R7 1700x. So, I'd have bought different RAM for sure but all you can do now is OC that RAM as much as possible. 2933-3200MHz is ideal.
