Can I reuse these things without problems?

Go to solution Solved by Altecice,

So no driver issues or anything?

 

you probs wont get any issues but you really SHOULD do a clean windows install.

This is my current rig, and this is what I think I should start with, since you'll need to know to help me out.
CPU: AMD FX-8150 (stock clock)
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 (v.1.02, the original one)
GPU: PNY GTX 780
RAM: Kingston hyperx blue (2 4gb sticks)
Storage:1 tb WD Blue drive
PSU: Corsair HX750
Case: Coolermaster Elite 430
 
 I am planning on moving to a new build soon and handing down some of these parts to my little brother for his first decent gaming machine, but, I just want to know if I'll run into any problems by reusing in my new rig.
The new rig:
CPU- I7 4790k
RAM/Memory- G. Skill ripjawsx (not sure what speed, likely ddr3 1600)
CPU Cooler- Hyper 212 EVO (reused part 1)
Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK LGA 1150 ATX
Case- Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-03 White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
PSU- HX 750 (reused part 2)
GPU- GTX 780 (reused part 3)
Storage- 1tb wd drive (reused part 4)
I want to reuse the cooler, psu, gpu, and storage drive in my new rig, will I run into any problems in doing so? I know the hx750 is haswell compatible, but the storage is my question, since I already have some drivers on there, and I don't know what I should have to change or what on that. I just really want to know if I can use the hdd again, and not have too many worries? drivers and such mostly.
Thanks in advance!

If you have a bracket for the cpu cooler it should be fine.

The psu has nothing to do with any other component as long as it can power it.There are not specific psu's for specific cpu's and so on.Also the wattage is enough for the new rig

The storage is just fine.Re-format the hdd and you are good to go.

Enjoy the new pc

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
