Help me spec a new PC
holyspam:
You're ok with the parts, not sure about the RAID, i've had arrays fail many times both on seagate and wd, so i don't use them anymore, i just backup to an SSD
The old corsair is a monster psu, it can probably handle both PCs simultaneously lol.
For your old build i suggest you go with the CX450
It has 5 years warranty vs 3 years
Is rated at 40C vs 30C
It's much more modern, ATX v2.4 vs 2.31, (that's 2013 vs 2008) so it won't have issues with the new build, if you want to upgrade again later or a different future build
Both of your builds consume peak 300-400W at stock, you wont have issues with a quality 450W psu.
Piglet:
Thanks. I missed the PSU recommendation. I've gone for a pair of Toshiba P300 1tb's
Asus ROG Strix B450-F Motherboard
Ryzen 5 3600 (not x) + AMD Prism RGB Cooler so should be able to clock it same as 3600x
Corsair 16GB (2x 8GB) 3600Mhz DDR4 Vengeance LPX
Corsair Force Series MP510 NVMe M.2 480GB SSD
What would be better to power it, the Corsair VS550 or the Corsair HX750 from the old machine?
Nardaq_NL:
I'd say go for the HX750. Not for the power but the HX series.
And like holy mentioned, Seasonic (prime) are also good ones.
In this 9yr old comp I'm using a Cooler Master B600 running 24/7. and before that a antec PSU (fan died)
About HDD's Hitachi -> HGST(=WD) -> WD

I got gtx 960 too, this card make my ut2004 strange, when i play offline i'm sliding on normal ground as if i was on ice. And when lauching ut2004 the sound volume reduce itself.
Are AMD processor good ? I'm happy to left AMD and switched for intel in 2016...
I'm still using i5 4690k but will upgrade soon.
Piglet:
AMD are leaving Intel in the dust behind them. I'm not sure what has happened to Intel, but they seem to be struggling in the desktop market at the moment.
AMD Ryzen chips are incredibly powerful at a fraction of the Intel price for similar performance
