If the frame have a similar fork to accommodate you stem (i guess you have the old still quill) then you should be good for wheels and front end. Indeed the hard part is the BB, you have to be careful if it is BSA (english thread) or italian (if other walk away). BSA is the most common so probably the case of your old Peugeot but even if you find a new frame BSA, it doesn't mean your BB will do the job as in function of the frame, you sometime need longer or smaller BB.
But in the end, all should fit and even if you need to change the bb, those are fairly cheap. The best way to learn is to do it yourself, you need few tools and you won't need the LBS any more for basic stuff. Find someone willing ot show you would help you save time and compatibility nightmare though.
