I ordering a new HD and a new CPU for my board. Everything matches up but im just wondering if I should clean install windows on the new HD instead of just putting the cpu in and firing the computer up like that
 
you don't have to reinstall unless you change your motherboard, or if you want Windows on a new hard drive

you got a new hard drive, but you can still use the old hard drive to run Windows from. and you can install the new hard drive and use that for extra storage.

install the drive, boot to Windows, go to start -> run -> "diskmgmt.msc"
format the new drive to NTFS
 
Then use Ghost or something like it to mave your stuff to your new drive. Be sure to copy the MBR as well.
