That's only an issue if the "parts of" include the mobo but not the RAM or - just the opposite - the RAM but not the mobo. If the OP moves both, there won't be a problem.
But maybe he only meant the floppy drive, the CD-drive and the video card. That could very well work without any issue.

thanks for the help
