aparis99,

1) Any Operating System [windows,linux,unix,FreeBSD....]
2) All your drivers
3) Antivirus/Spyware removal/Adware removal

I dont think you need any other stuff. These are the "essential" stuff. Once you have the essential stuff you can always get the other software from Net.

p.s: Backup all your documents/private data/your photoshop work.etc ..they are pricelss!
