That'll depend. You can take that HDD and use it normally on only the computer you have installed Windows with. But you should be able to go onto the HDD and use info, documents, and MP3's, Programs. Some stuff might not work right if you try to run Windows from the drive with a different computer.
EDIT:
And that PSU will be fine unless you want to use a high end video card(7600GT and up or X1600XT and up) or lots of drives.
