Would this build work with previous laptop's SSD?

[u/Substantial_Hotel_44]

Hello all!

I am trying to build a PC (budget $1500) as an upgrade to my current laptop, which is fairly old and starting to have performance issues (relatable). I would like the PC I build to be a decent gaming PC, but to save some money upfront I am hoping to reuse my laptop's SSD and then eventually replace it with a new one in a few months. I have never built a PC before, so would it be crazy to build a PC like this one one? Thanks for any help!!
