Will Windows work?

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong section

 

I'm planning on building a pc, I hopefully will have all the parts by Saturday but if not next week.

 

My list is

 

Ryzen 5 3600 (I know 5600x just came out but I can't afford. I got this CPU for £140)

 

Rtx 2060

 

16gb DDR4

 

Corsair TXM 650 gold

 

Asrock B450 Steel legend.

 

 

The question I have is, can I just swap out my SSD in my current pc into the new one without needing to reinstall OS?

 

I will be completely switching platforms, at the moment I have an Intel I7 4770 and a GT 710 (I know it sucks).

 

 

System

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Case: Phanteks eclipse P400A

Motherboard: MSI B550 Gaming Carbon WiFi

GPU: MSI RTX 3060 TI Gaming X Trio

RAM: 16GB XPG D60G CL16 3200MHZ

PSU: Sharkoon SilentStorm Cool Zero 650W

Storage: Crucial P2 1TB

I'd recommend reinstalling Windows to avoid issues.

It'll possibly work, but some motherboards, like my own, reject previously installed windows and require a fresh install.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
