    Tomorrow for Christmas I'll be getting the following:

    Motherboard
    CPU
    Power Supply
    Video Card

    I'll be taking a few parts from my current PC and adding them to the new motherboard along with the new parts and was just wondering whether the following steps are right for installing everything, and whether I've missed anything out:

    1) Putting the mobo into my PC Case & attaching the Power Supply to it.

    2) Attaching the Video Card, CPU, CD/DVD Rom Drive, Floppy Drive, Hard Drive.

    3) Booting up the PC, going into the Bios, selecting 'Boot From CD' and re-installing Windows XP

    4) Restarting the PC (and I'm assuming everything will boot up fine)

    5) Installing the Video Card drivers

    Now I know I've most definitely left something out but seeing as this is my first time upgrading to a new PC I'm not 100% knowledgeable on the subject.
