Building computer for cousin.. need some advice!

[pay]

I'm building a computer for my cousin who was at first going to buy an Emachines 1Ghz Celeron (thank God he didnt). But anyway the budget is $650 with everything! Starting from scratch. Here is what I have got so far; please give me some advice as to what I should replace or add, thanks!

Enermax, CS-A1QX-02, 2-Tone, 9-Bay, 300W PS, P4, MID Tower Case - $50

MITSUMI D359M3 FDD 1.44MB 3.5INCH - OEM - $9

MAXTOR 40GB 7200RPM Model # 6L040J2 - OEM, DRIVE ONLY D740X Plus Series Ultra ATA133/100 2MB Cache Buffer <8ms Seek Time - $80

KINGSTON KVR266X64C25/256 256MB 32x64 PC2100 DDR RAM - OEM - $73

EPOX EP-8K7A (AMD-761 + VIA 686B AGPset) MOTHERBOARD For AMD & AMD XP - RETAIL. - $75

AMD Athlon XP 1600+/266 FSB PROCESSOR CPU - RETAIL - $119

Hercules GameSurround Muse XL - $16

Gainward/Cardexpet GeForce 3 Ti200 64MB (NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200 GPU), Power Pack Golden Sample, 4ns 64MB DDR. $153

A90 Monitor - $70

The total so far is $644 shipped, and I still need keyboard, mouse, and speakers. So im definitely going to break the $650 limit. Please give me some advice.
For speakers im thinking of the Logitech Z340's

Thanks

Save a few bucks on the HDD and get just ATA100, possibly fewer gigabytes as well. As for the memory, Kingston is just as good as Crucial (if not better), and a bit cheaper. You could save some cash by getting a Duron instead of an Athlon. The Duron 1.2GHz would probably be fine. Finally, anyone who considers e-Machines can't be much of a gamer. Try a Radeon 7500 instead of a GF3 Ti200 and save $50. If he doesn't game at all, save $100 and buy a Radeon 7000 DDR or a Matrox G450.

No dont worry he is a gamer, just doesnt know much about hardware. He expected to be playing games on the emachines. So I definitely need that GF3 ti and the Athlon. The HD cant get much cheaper; but ill get the Kingston instad. Any other suggestions?

You could still do the video card at a lower price. I game, and my GF2 Pro runs everything quite well, beyond the threshhold of noticibility, except for one game.. MoH:AA, which I have to turn a couple details down on. I still run it at 1024x768, 32 bit color though. The 7500 would be a better choice for him, IMHO. I'd bump the XP down to a Duron or T-bird and save some cash there too. Everything else looks nice. You might be able to even save a little bit more if you can live with the onboard audio on the 8K7A. It may not be high quality, but on that buget, you're not gonna be getting real high quality speakers, most likely..

Just my 2 critical cents
