$140 of that is just for networking equip. so the build for him is $532.

He plays WoW, C.O.D. 4 and if it will handle it, Crysis and of course school work. Is there anyway to find out for sure if that video card will work in that motherboard?

Thanks for any suggestions.

That's a micro ATX motherboard - the video card will fit and work fine if you're putting it in a normal size case, for whatever reason, but you'd be better off getting a proper ATX board with more expansion slots and features. Don't forget Operating System and Monitor!

Thanks, I didn't notice it was micro atx. I'll go try to find another one.

He has a 19" viewsonic crt that I'm going to keep for now. I already picked up a copy of Vista Home Premium for the system.

For his next birthday I'll probably grab him a 22" lcd and a better video card too.
