Need some suggestions for this build

I am helping a friend build a computer and he would mostly use it for gaming and a small amout of video editing. The budget is $800 plus or minus a little but not more than a grand. this is what we have so far
ABIT KN8 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Kingston HyperX 1GB (2 x 512MB)
SAPPHIRE Radeon X1800XT
HITACHI Deskstar T7K250 160GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s
ASPIRE ATX-CW500WP4 500W Power Supply
AOpen 16X DVD±R DVD Burner

so far the total is $720 but he still needs a case. All types of suggestions are welcome thanks.

Cooler master centurion 532. Has 2x120mm fans slots (need to buy the exhaust), but its like 60 shipped AR, and keeps things nice and cool. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119094

things to consider -
for gaming i would go 2GB as 1GB is getting maxed out especially with the resolutions the gpu will afford him

if he can wait intel is droppig their prices in about a month and you could get a good deal on a dual core setup, that would probably help him in the video editing dept. if nothing else, hopefully amd will counter with a price war 🙂 🙂 😀

get a antec case with a 450+W psu and save a bit
