Good Luck. My best suggestion is to buy an external hard drive to back up all your important files with - a good 320-500GB drive can be had for about $100. I suggest the Seagate Free Agent Go.
$120 from Amazon

Also, make sure to back up frequently used (yet often forgotten to back up) items like your bookmarks and email contacts if you don't use a web-based email client.
Lastly, get pen and paper and write down a list of all the software you need to re-install. Make sure you have the install CDs or download the software ahead of time to make it east to get done in one shot.
Again, good luck. Your computer will probably seem like it's brand-spankin new when you're done.
