Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my old HP 8760c so it can play games from 2004 at close to max settings. Here's my stock computer info:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=59299&

Here's what I'm doing to it:

Pentium 3 Tualatin @ 1.4 GHz 133
1.5GB SDRAM 133
BFG GeForce 6600GT 128 MB AGP

Anyway, I don't know which power supply I should pick. I've heard that I need at least a 300w psu and 18A on the +12V rail to power the 6600GT. These are my current choices:

Are these PSUs overkill for computer? Will they even work with my system as it's so old? I appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks!

If you haven't bought it yet, why don't you just buy a new computer altogether? I've got a P3 800mhz all the way from 2001, but I'd imagine that you've upgraded your memory and graphics... If you buy another computer, you'd have another computer to use :D I'm making my P3 a home server after my mom's done with it for tax season.
