So I'm building a new PC and I don't quite know much about reusing hard drives and I'm questioning how to do some things.

I'm currently using a prebuilt PC from ASUS with the following known specs:

i5-6400 @ 2.7Ghz

16GB RAM @ 2133Mhz

GTX 1060 6gb

2 1Tb HDD's + 500Gb SSD

With this said, I'm making my new build with the following parts:

ASUS ROG Strix B350-F Motherboard

AMD Ryzen 2600X Processor

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB RAM @ 3000Mhz

GTX GeForce 1060 6GB (Reused from last build)

2Tb HDD's (Reused) + 500Gb SSD (Reused) + 500Gb SSD PCIe

Corsair VSS 550W PSU

With all that said, I have the OS on my current SSD but I don't entirely know how to wipe everything including the OS off that drive so I can put the OS on the PCIe SSD (through a USB drive) when I build my new computer.

If anyone can help me with this I'd appreciate it and if someone could check my parts for any suggestions I'd appreciate that too.

Thanks

You should honestly just be able to connect the SDD to your new system if you really want and start using your system.

Thanks for the current replies. I already have all of my parts besides my case so I guess its too late for me on that part.. if I put my SSD into my new build as is would it run just fine? And if so, any suggestions as to how I could move the OS to the PCIe SSD?

It's fine, but there's no power supply.

I would recommend a TX550M or CX550

Ryzen 7 3700X / 16GB RAM / Optane SSD / GTX 1650 / Solus Linux
