I'm about to build a brand new PC. Currently, i have my OS and WoW on my SSD. I have a HDD with other games, word documents, and visual studio projects. It's basically a storage drive. I know i have to reinstall windows and wipe my SSD, but do i have to wipe my HDD as well since the OS is not on there? Would it carry over? Or do i just have to wipe it as well and start a new? Doesn't bother me at all, but would save the hassle. Thanks.

There's no need to wipe your HDD that has files on it. However, you'll probably need to reinstall programs. When you're building your new PC, first connect the SSD. Don't connect the HDD. Install Windows on the SSD, update Windows, then install mobo and GPU drivers. After everything is working OK, then connect the HDD. This will insure that Windows gets installed on the SSD and not on the HDD.
