So I built a machine a few years back based on an ASUS ROG STRIX B350-I Gaming and Ryzen 7 1700. I put it in a Silverstone SG13 case using a Corsair H50 liquid cooler, Corsair SF 450W Gold SFX power, 16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200, and GTX 1060 6gb video card. I'm thinking I'd like to upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5800 and using a ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I, but keep most of the other parts. I'm not sure keeping which parts is a good idea.


The existing machine is on partspicker at: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/KaisoBuild/saved/#view=McfLD3


The prospective new build at: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/KaisoBuild/saved/gh4kJx


My main questions:

1. Parts picker says the old build used 274w of power. The new list says 314w. Will my Corsair SF 450W Gold SFX have enough overhead?

2. Does the Ryzen 7 5800 run  hotter than the 1700 and will require a different cooler? The H50 currently keeps the machine at 47° in normal use.

3. Is the current 16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 memory usable, or is it old and will handicap the new mobo/processor?


Partspicker says the Corsair SF 450W Gold SFX PSU does not fit in Silverstone SG13 case. This is wrong as I have it in there already, so I'm skeptical of their compatibility warnings.  At any rate, I'm hoping someone here can help, and am open to suggestions.


Thanks
