He should only get the DFI if he plans to overclock

And yes, upgrade that video card please!
 
CPU: A64 3200+ Venice
Mobo: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
RAM: Corsair Value Select kit 1GB (2 x 512MB)
GPU: ATi Radeon x800xl or GeForce 6800GT
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB SATA
DVDRW: NEC ND-3520A
Case/PSU: Antec Sonata Piano Black w/380W PSU (better than or equal to that thermaltake 430w)

Edit: This is as "fast" as it get's for less than $1000 and no overclocking. I don't know if your on a budget or not but remember that this rig will be for "fast gaming" so the vid card choice will be most important.
