I'd leave them in their original packaging. That's how they're shipped from the manufacturer. Your checked luggage will be xray'ed, but that won't hurt your components. Make sure you have a TSA approved lock on your checked luggage, take pictures of the items as they're packed in the luggage and keep the receipts from the store where you purchased them. When you collect your luggage at the destination airport, make sure everything is still there! Even with these precautions, valuables sometimes get stolen by baggage handlers. If that happens, go to the airline's baggage personnel and file a complaint. Smaller items, like the CPU and drives you can carry with you in your hand luggage.
