Building my own bike for the first time from used pieces?

I am building a bike from trash bike parts, but I wanted to know if I used get some pieces new, every part I have looks fine none of it is broken or anything. But for instance breaks and stuff like that, should I get them new? Any tips?

Thank you.
 
used brakes are ok
they don;t really wear out
other than pads

the other stuff does
chain
bearings/hubs
bottom bracket
chain rings
back gears

but usually no one ever rides a bike long enough to really wear anything out
