Right now I have a Corsair AX750 from 2010. I was wondering if it's okay to use for a new build? I'm planning on having a Ryzen 2700K with a 1080Ti. What do you guys think?

Well, none of those units was still in specification and/or fully functional. So, while not your unit, it may be getting towards the time for a refresh.

why would you spend all that money only to cheap out and reuse an old psu. do yourself a favor and buy a new one.
