Upgrading...but need help!

I'm upgrading the motherboard, CPU, and VGA card on my system. Do I need to do a clean install of the OS on the hard drive, or can I just piece the system back together and assume it will work?

I'm currently running a P4 2.6 and switching to an AMD 64 platform and adding an NVIDIA 7600GT.

Any advice you have would be appreciated!

you should do a clean install but its possible to switch from intel to amd ..read here
 
as ScrapSilicon said, it's possible to keep the OS, but it is usually far less work and a far better idea (in terms of stability, compatibility, driver issues, your sanity, etc) to just do a clean install.
