Is it going to be overclocked? If not this is the setup I used for my g/fs PC and it works GREAT (Well she had video card HDs burner etc... but thats the CPU and MB I used.

AMD Athlon XP 2100+ Retail $100 from googlegear
Albatron KX400+ $68 from googlegear
Sapphire ATI 8500LE $94 for 128MB or $72 for 64MB from newegg
Kingston 512MB PC2700 for $130 from googlegear
Lite-On 16X DVD $43 from newegg
Maxtor 60GB HD $90 from newegg
Lite-On 48x CDRW for $60 from newegg
Any cheaper case $30-40
Mouse/Keyboard combo $25-40
Floppy $10

Thats if he doesnt need a monitor I dont know if he does... if so.. go dell or something 😛 But I think that setup I mentioned will work great for $700... it might go a bit over with a printer, but it would be close. Everything I listed has free shipping from newegg or googlegear so no tax or shipping.
