If I'm replacing the MB, CPU, and RAM do I need to reinstall the OS?
 
Generally no, but I have seen it go bad. If you computer blue screens on
startup. Boot from XP CD reinstall over top of Windows (doing repair
option, not recovery console). That generally will get you back up and
running.

You should then insall your new MB specific chipset drivers.

Backup before you begin.

Try booting up first. You might get lucky. Otherwise, a repair install
should take care of it.

An Athlon 64 cpu will run XP Home or Pro just fine. XP is a 32 bit OS, so
it will not benefit as greatly as the soon to be released 64 bit XP OS.
