Time Machine Copying files

I have been using time machine for around 12 months and have a 4TB external drive with a lot of work on it.

My question is, i am due to upgrade my machine in the next few days and i only want some of the data within time machine, is it possible to copy certain files and folders to a new machine from an old time machine?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Of course. When you set up your new Mac, you will be asked to restore a backup if you have got one. During this process, you will be able to choose what files you want to restore by folders, so you will not have any problem.
