Hello guys, I'm about to build a new pc using some old components.

I'm building a new ITX pc and I'm reusing my CPU, my RAM, my GPU and my HDD.
I'm wondering, can I just take my current pc apart and put my old CPU and HDD on my new motherboard without formating my HDD?
I mean, I'm most probably going to format it when I'm going to install Windows.
I already made a back up of everything.

I hope I'm being clear enough!
Thank you for your time!

I do have a license, so no problem there.

Here are my old specs :
RAM: Kingston value ram 1333 Mhz 8Gb : KVR1333D3N9/8G
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB : WD1002FAEX
CPU : Intel core i5-3570
GPU : Sapphire HD R9 270
PSU : Thermaltake TR 2 600W

And my new build (Red = New) :
RAM: Kingston value ram 1333 Mhz 8Gb : KVR1333D3N9/8G
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB : WD1002FAEX
CPU : Intel core i5-3570
GPU : Sapphire HD R9 270
PSU : Seasonic SSR-650RM 650W

I'm wondering If I could just shut down my pc as it is right now and just take the part and put them into my new build without damaging or corrupting anything.
