Only other suggestion is close to the post above me. If you don't want to sort through things now, you can ghost the drive to an image and then install ghost explorer on the new machine to retrieve your docs, etc. Same idea as a data backup but you are backing up a lot of information you don't need, it just saves time for the backup process but the restore process then becomes longer because you have to sort through all of it.
