Frame swapover

How much would changing the parts from one bike, to buying a new frame and putting the old parts on the new frame? I've never built a bike from scratch.

Say if I bought this, apart from usual inner/outers what else would I need that I can't salvage from the existing bike?

Existing bike has Campagnolo Mirage trible groupset. Square taper BB, rim brakes, Campagnolo wheels.

I guess headset, fork star fangled nut, BB cable guide.

unless that frame has holes for dual pivot brakes? (can't tell)
Pretty sure English thread, it's not a Italian frame.
Existing FD is braze on mounting

About 2005, modern headset not quill. Weird as the bike is apparently the right size, but because of the compact geometry it feels a bit small.

I could get a frame through work, like boardman but I guess can't be too high up as those are PF BB's would need to stick to smaller threaded BB. Unless I use a Praxxis but those aren't cheap
