My "New" Build

[MastaFlyMason]

Well my old computer was a 939, and I decided it was time to sell. I am parting out the computer on eBay, so right now it is sitting on my desk in pieces. I probably won't have all the parts for my new build in around 3 weeks, so I am stuck with a Pentium 3 build. Right now my main build is:

700MHz P3 OC'd to 750MHz
1024MB PC133 Memory
80 Gigabyte Hard Drive
600Watt Coolermaster PSU
Radeon 9200 PCI Video Card

I have it installing XP right now, hopefully it won't be too painful. I am planning on getting by playing Warcraft 3 and Quake 3, any other games that will run on this?

When I get my new parts I need the PSU out of this, so I will just stick a 300watt in it and use it as a file server. I'll update on how its running, all I usually do on my computer is surf 4chan and play some Warcraft, so I think i will be ok.

i'd say that not many other games would run on that, i did get CS 1.6 running on a 200mhz P1 with internal graphics, but that was at 640x480 with everything on very low and it hardly worked, but you never know...

i know my 800mhz P3 will run CS 1.6 at 800x600, sometimes 1024x768, but with that pci 9200, you may not be able to do that much...

Which CM PSU is that? I wouldn't be so quick to use it in the new build unless you know for a fact that its a good quality unit, and CM isn't known for good quality PSUs under 800W or so. They have a few good 600W, but we need the model # to be sure.
