These are the minimum recommended in the AMD desktop builders guide circa 2002 for a certifed 300W power supply for a Socket 462 system.
+3.3V = 28A
+5.0V = 30A
+12.0V = 15A-18A
+5VSB = 2A-2.5A

Your capacity on your 12V line is too low even for a socket A system let alone a K8 based system.

You may be able to just squeeze by with a very simple minimal build, but don't count on adding any drives to it.

It's OK to be ignorant; it's not OK to play stupid. Never assume you are entitled to an answer. You are not.
