Awesome. Well I've got a list going here, but I'm having trouble fitting the Operating System in the budget as well as other things like keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.

What sort of games does he expect to play? This system isn't blazing fast, but it should allow him to play any game.

Let me know what you think.
