that's definitely what I would do, but you can knock down some of that stuff. I would just get a nice $50 case, and he seriously doesn't need a 550 watt power supply. a 350-400 would serve him fine. might could clock down that 160 as well, if he doesn't need that much storage.
I have no room to talk, I am running 540 gigabytes right now....
