Will They Work After 3 Years?

I'm moving to another state for college purpose. So my question, will my components would be in a working condition after 3 years of inactivity?
My Components are
Corsair TX 850V2
Zotac GTX 560Ti
Sparkle GTX 550Ti
3 x WD Blue 320gb
1 tb WD Passport (External)
2 x 4gb GSkill Ram
etc...

Pack them well. There's no reason why they shouldn't.

Maybe you can take it along with you.

Or, sell them off...

Try to bubble wrap it so that it can absorb shocks and jerks.

Can't sell them as most of them except harddriver are quite new... But will pack them as good as I can. Thanx everyone.

drop in a pack or two Silica desiccant to keep it moist free! Silica desiccant can be found the new box of shoes you buy or even available locally!

yes, they will work. Even if you keep them all assembled, covered in cloth and inside a wall almirah.

But yes, as abracadabra suggested, use silica desiccant.
