I have an old pc with these specs

i5-750, would replace by Ryzen 5 1600 or something
2x2 gb RAM, would replace by 2x8gb
500w antec PSU ..... should I reuse?
Gigabyte mobo, would replace by AM4 mobo for ryzen most likely B350
Antec Sonata III ATX case....would reuse if big enough for new card..
Asus EAH6850HD GPU....would replace by GTX1060 or rx580
250gb samsung SSD...reuse

Are there parts I can reuse for my next pc?

Really only want to run new games on mid to high setting.
Whats your thoughs?

Throw in a $200 1080p freesync monitor and enjoy buttery smooth 1080p on high settings.

/e added hard drive for extra storage, if you only play esports titles and don't have a bunch of personal files, you wouldn't really need it.

So you wouldn’t re use my antec psu? Guess it’s risky to run new components with a 8 years old psu...

Same for the case ?

8 year old PSU that you didn't list anything about other than wattage. If it was like a 600w gold, it would be fine.
Case is ugly af (imo) and will have much worse airflow than what I linked (ie higher temps and more fan noise)

I could probs get the price down a bit when I get home. You're only playing at 1080p right?
