There aren't many new components. The tech in the Orion capsule is new, but the capsule design is very similar to previous capsules (aerodynamics don't change).

I may be wrong in this case about the upper stage. I don't know what they plan on using for those engines. If they're new engines (which I haven't heard of development regarding them), then that could be interesting, but they're likely reused OM engines from the shuttle or something like that.
