Default Copying files from drive to drive

I just bought a new PC, and i want to sell my old one, but before i do i must move all of my files from my old PC to my new one. I would say there is about 90GB of info that has to be moved contained in 3 or 4 different drives. What is the best way to do this? Is there some software out there that will move this quickly/easily? I have already set up my network so thats not a problem at this point.

I went to the total commander web site. I can just download the latest version from there. Would it be easier to use (and faster to copy) than partition magic? I already have partition magic at home, i was thinking there may be something faster.
