You might be better off with this PSU, it is much higher quality, and slightly cheaper with the sale on it.

Kind of hard to guess the FPS... but if you are only playing at 1024x768 res I'd expect you to get a pretty decent and playable FPS, you should be happy. I would look into upgrading that CPU/Mobo sometime or another if I was you though. Also, do add another gig of RAM (unless you plan on upgrading your cpu/mobo, assuming you are using DDR-400 ram, because you will not be able to transfer that over to your new system), that will also help you out.

Agree on the PSU. Get the corsair unit. It won't blow up.

Your CPU may be too weak for even a 9600GT, but I'm not sure. At 1024x768, your game will mostly depend on your old Athlon 64 anyway. If you don't have it overclocked, I suggest you do it.

Overclocking isn't too difficult, especially on the Athlons of that day. Check out the overclocking section here. There are some tutorials there, and everyone will be more than happy to help you.

Overclocking puts more strain on the hardware and will make ICs decay faster, yes. "Die faster" though, is relative. I have PCs that are over 15 years old that are overclocked and still run great.

It's the overvolting that you really need to be careful with.

I think most OEMs put on a BIOS that won't allow you to OC, of course you could do it through a windows utility, or possibly a BIOS flash. Not sure about the latter.
