You need to consider the output rails, primarily. Generally speaking I find that the older P4 power supplies work fine with a dual-core machine. One of the awesome things about the newer microarchitectures is they use less power for higher performance levels.
A new enough 300W is a little light but will probably be doable. I think you should focus more on choosing the right motherboard - ASUS isn't known for their server parts, and on top of that 99.999% of all AMD motherboards are geared towards "enthusiasts" rather than business use of some kind.
