I am planning on buying a new CPU, MB, and stick of Ram. I have settled on:

AMD T-Bird 1200(200MHZ)
EPOX 8KTA3
32X64 256MB PC133

Any thoughts?

Instead of the 1200/200 Tbird buy the 1200/ 266 Tbird. The 266MHz FSB will give better performance for just $13 more. Make sure you buy a motherboard based on the KT133A chipset to take advantage of 266MHz FSB. Make sure you buy quality PC133 CAS 2 memory such as Crucial or Mushkin. Make sure you have an Athlon approved 300 watt power supply.

How can I check to see if I have a 300 watt power supply?
