mobo: XFX GeForce 7100 MicroATX Motherboard $69.99

CPU: Intel Pentium D 945 3.4GHz Dual core $99.99

now the case comes with a 300 W PSU
i think
and i will be putting my HDD from my Desktop Dell inside (IDE cable)
and ill throw in some more space, like this:
WD Caviar 250 GB intenal HDD SATA $59.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136161
so since i would basicly be building a pc from scratch
what would have to happen to keep my Windows XP on my HDD and get everything up and running again?
Reasons:
here are my reasons why i would consider doing this
im tired of this pos dell
there is no room to upgrade
and i am ablsolutely sick and tired of seeing the Dell logo
