Reformat your old HDD to wipe everything from it. Everything should be ok but with a new pc/motherboard its highly recommended you wipe your old HDD before putting it into a new pc.

I have done it many times. It works fine, and you don't need to delete any of your old data.
Build your new PC with just the SSD connected, get it running properly, then switch it off and connect the old HDD. Restart into BIOS, and make sure you are set to boot from the SSD
Job done. You now have C:\ for your SSD and D:\ for your old HDD with all your data
