Need input for final decision

I am building a system for a friend on a very tight budget of 550 bucks. This is what I have come up with for $554 shipped. What do you think? I am kinda torn on the mobo, either the Shuttle or the ECS K7S5A pro.

I am building a $600 dollar system for my bud, and wanted to see what you guys think of my choices.

ATI RADEON 8500LE 64MB DDR CRT/DVI/TV

OR, you could omit the 8500LE and get an <A HREF="http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=K7N2G-L" target="_new">MSI K7N2G-L</A> with integrated video. Newegg has it for $113. He can upgrade the video later if he wants. But this way you're getting the best chipset for K7 straight off the bat.

<font color=red>why not just go ahead and get the epox 8RDA for only 88bucks from newegg....the nforce2 is the best chipset money can buy right now and you can run it in single channel ddr mode and not lose that much performance!! This is a much much much better motherboard</font color=red>

I would also get a different case...I definately recommend chieftec cases...you can also get one of these very nice cases from newegg for around 60 bucks
