I'm changing a few things in my first build because I simply just cannot figure out what the problem is, and I figure I might as well buy a few new parts, and upgrade to a bigger case so I can replace my 750 ti with an R9 280 I had just sitting around. I wont go into much detail about my problems with my current build but I ended up buying a new motherboard, psu, and case. I will be using the same cpu, memory, and hdd. I also have an 120gb 850 samsung evo ssd I was saving until I could diagnose the problems with my current build, but now that I'm somewhat starting over I will be using this in the new build.
So with this in mind, is there anything I should do differently or need to know? Can I literally just install my RAM, gpu, cpu, etc, in the new motherboard and start the computer up like I did with my first build? I'm also planning on installing the ssd first so I can install windows and WoW on it, is there any method to this that is different than on a hard drive?
Current build ---> Replacements/upgrades:
CPU: Pentium G3258
Motherboard: ASRock Z97m-itx/ac ---> MSI H81m-P33
RAM: 8gb Ripjaws x
GPU: 750 ti ---> MSI R9 280
HDD: 1TB WD Blue ---> 120gb 850 Evo SSD (will install hdd later, less confusing that way i think)
PSU: Corsair CX500M ---> Seasonic G-Series 550W 80+gold (possibly DOA, I will need to test on the new motherboard)
Case: CM Elite 130 ---> Rosewill Line-M
