POWERCOLOR R43CA-GD3D Radeon X800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card $162.00

What about this card? Only $120 after rebate.
MSI RX800-TD128E Radeon X800 128MB DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail

The X800GTO2 that newegg has for $199 after rebate can supposedly be unlocked and overclocked to a 16 pipeline X850XTPE

OS XP Pro from edirectsoftware.com $80, it has a Dell branding but will work as an OEM.
Check out their resellers rating and feed back at edirectsoftware.

I will be putting Office XP Pro OEM on my sister's comp later today, paid $156 shipped.

If your not put off by an ECS mainboard w/AMD 3400 for $230, outpost.com might be worth
a look#4590577. The board in this bundel has AGP and PCIe.

For the people that suggested Dell, i already recommended it...but he insists on going custom this time...

I hope this guy is a good friend. Or at least I hope that he knows how to fix things in case something messes up.
