I am currently in the process of building a new workstation using Dual 2696 v4 on the SuperMicro X10DAX motherboard. My current PSU is a high end BeQuiet 1200W model from 2012 that has been on 24/7.

The old system is an i7-3970x so the PSU has never been heavily taxed. Should I get a new PSU or just reuse what I have?
