I'm finally nearing the end of collecting the parts for my new build, but stuck on a small dilemma.
Post Body

Okay, so my current rig is old... like, ancient for you group of people reading this. I built this back in 2009ish. But it works, and works mostly well for my purposes which is gaming. I mean, I get 50-60FPS on Warzone with toned down settings and 60fps on AC Valhalla with max graphics on my 34" Ultrawide monitor. However, I want to do some streaming and Cyber Punk and the CPU is really starting to show its age.

Here's what I'm working with right now

I5 2500K
Asus P8 Z68-V
Corsair A70
Corsair HX650W
Thermaltake Armor A60
various HDD and SSD's I've obtained over the years
I started this build with a GTX 270 left over from the rig before it and eventually upgraded to a pair of GTX 570's in SLI

Recent upgrades include
16gb Corsair Vengeance PRO DDR 1600mhz
Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC

I've been slowly buying parts as I see em come on sale over the last month or so. Here's what's been acquired so far.

Ryzen 7 5800X
Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite Wifi
Trident Z RGB 16gb 3600mhz
Gigabyte Aorus LC 360 AIO
Sabrent Rocket NVMe 4.0 1TB

For my case, I've decided on the Lian Li 011 Dynamic in silver and will probably pick up the Lian Li SL120 fans down the road to daisy chain together... 9 of em going in this thing and I really like how they stick together to avoid massive amounts of cables. For now I'll be using the existing fans I have though.

So here's the dilemma, my power supply should be sufficient to run everything and has been solid, this computer has not given me any grief in the last decade, at all, however, it's old. Should I bring the PSU over. Or should I look at replacing it? What potential damage could happen if it fails on me?
