If you are looking for the user files that go with the plugins (custom skins, libraries of users presets, wavetable or sample files, MIDI clips, and whatnot), my suggestion is to find out where each vendor/plugin saves them, and make a list of files/folders to copy once you have the new PC.
Wait until you have the plugin installed on the new PC, so that any changes and/or new files you make between now and then will also get copied over.
Each plugin will be different. If it is not well documented where they store their files, try saving something from within the plugin, and see what directory it takes you to.
And make sure to keep that information, so that you don't have to do it all over again for the next new PC.
One of the best things I ever did (I think) was when I got a new PC, I created a new directory just for storing information about installing each program/plugin (where to down load the files, the license file, any user account/password information needed to register it, a file with basic instructions about which files/folders to copy from the old PC, etc.) In most cases, I also kept a copy of the actual installation files, unless it was HUGE or from a reputable vendor that I think won't disappear and leave me without a way to download the installer. Anytime I buy a new plugin or update an existing one, I make sure to add it to that directory.
I am about to build a new PC myself, and looking over the folder, I think I will have a very easy time getting it all set up because it is so organized from the last time.
