Its old, but a good match for the older CPU, neither will really hold the other back, and it'll let them play fancier games.

Seagate 500GB HDD: $39.99

Rosewill 92mm Cooler for Socket 775: $12.99

It'll do the basic cooling you need.

This is $339.89

Windows 7 is $99.99

optionally, you can add an 80mm and 120mm fan for extra cooling, I'm suggesting red LEDs for 'coolness' factor for the kids.

80mm w/ RED LED: $4.99

120mm w/ Red LED: $4.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200050

Total with everything: $449.99
