Answer:
power supply, fans, hard drive, and maybe video because you'll be able to setup more than one display(s) you could probably use the fan in the power supply to make an additional fan or use it to supply many optical drives, and the hard drive you could use backup device or put all media on that and windows and programs on and ssd and dvd, cd, card readers, and maybe ram

That depends on your computer specs. Your ram and motherboard you should keep if you don't plan on upgrading a CPU, unless you are replacing it it makes no sense to keep those. If you are upgrading your CPU, then your motherboard and RAM will not work. It is a tower? maybe you could keep the case, those are standard, unless you plan on getting a bigger one. You should probably keep cd/dvd/blue ray drive, hard drive (you could use that as a backup or slave one), maybe the case fans, and power supply if it's a good one (at least 450-500w), unless you buy a video card that requires more.

Adeel bhai, may be some of parts will not work for your new computer. because latest technology always change with time. but It'll definatelly help you in your future. most important are two: 1. Hard Drive. 2. Cd-Drive. or you can also take Ram and Graphic Card if available :) take care

I would keep the hard drive, motherboard with cpu & fan, ram, any card reader, Dvd drive unless upgrading, wireless card, Any heat fans/case fans, cables can be handy if removable. If there is anything else worth keeping that is removable.

Only thing that can be of some value is hard drive, and maybe additional sound/tv card if you have. Don't throw it, give to somebody/sell it
