So I got this message on PCPARTPICKER "The Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 430mm long, but video cards over 300mm may block drive bays. Since the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X Video Card is 305mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."

Will there be any problems if I use my old harddrive from a factory made pc to this new build?

Yes. To fit it you might need to remove a hard drive bay.

11.81" (300mm) With Drive Cages
16.93" (430mm) Without Drive Cages

Since the card is 305mm long it may be a tight fit, or you might need to remove a hard drive bay.
in the PC case there are HD holders called drive bays, these take up space in the case and can potentially obstruct the GPU. Basically the risk is that if you can't remove the HDD bays seperately then either your GPU won't fit, or the HDD won't fit. The way around this is to get an aftermarket HDD holder that screws on to your case, take the old hard drive bay out and put that HDD holder in a bay that won't obstruct the graphics card.
