One-man Geek Squad

Parts taken from our PCs.  The two at left came from a 2011 XPS in hopes that they might work with the current XPS.  The CPU cooler would likely have been fine if the X-shaped holder next to it would have fit in the motherboard.  The "hockey puck" CPU "cooler" at top center needed to be upgraded so I could Handbrake a bunch of DVD home video to MP4 format.  Bottom right is a sound card dated 2007 that I tried using, and after it failed, I never took the thing out, until now.  And if I ever need to re-install the empty 3.5" hard drive brace at top right, I'll be surprised.

The CPU cooler/fan arrived today, and with the prior research and due diligence, was installed without a hitch.  CPU temp went from 75C to the 50's at once, and now is comfortably hovering in the low 40's.

The 2TB SATA SSD arrived this morning, and after the CPU cooler/fan got installed, I used Macrium so it would mirror the soon-to-be-replaced 1TB SATA SSD.  Then used Disk Management to change the drive letter and replaced the 1TB drive with the 2TB drive.  Tomorrow a part will arrive so I can re-install the 1TB drive for other storage.  Also scheduled to arrive is a "be quiet!" brand 92MM fan to replace the 80MM fan presently in place.  

Is that enough upgrading?  Is that enough expense for now?
