Rebuilding my PC after Mobo failed.

Reusing my old Cooler Master Elite 130 case. I’d love to be able to reuse my Samsung 850 evo, but since my PC is dead I’m not sure how I can?

Anyhow, how’s this list:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2gLZCb

CPU: Intel - Core i5-8400 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor
Mobo: ASRock H370M-ITX/ac
Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i
RAM: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
SSD: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
PSU: Corsair CX450M
OS: Windows 10 64 Home

Put it in new computer, put in windows CD and boot to CD, then format the SSD.

The list isn't working, it's not your customized list.

The old SSD will work perfectly fine. The install may go a bit bonkers trying to update everything when you directly put it in with a new motherboard, but if there's nothing precious on there, you could wipe it beforehand and it'll work perfectly fine.

This is CPU graphics/no GPU build then?

Yeah, streaming HD movies, sports, video, etc is about the most visually intensive thing we do currently. Can always add a GPU later if the need arose.

How can I wipe the SSD beforehand without access to it?

Updated link to my list.
