So i'm just waiting on my power-supply and my computer will be set but for my hard-drive i'm using it from my old computer. Will that work if I put it in my new computer?

If it's just a slave drive then yeah it'll work but you'll run into issues if you move your old computers boot drive to a new computer with different hard ware. I'd just do a clean install myself if that's what you were planning on doing.

What HarmfulMushroom said. Your old computer's boot drive will have the drivers for all of your old hardware and could cause weird issues like random crashes and BSODs. I learned that the hard way. So if the drive you're putting in the new build is your boot drive, just save the important stuff and do a clean install of your OS.

Do a fresh install or you'll have a thousand things going wrong for months.
