Trying to come up with a machine for a friend:

Looking for the value gamer machine.

heres what I've suggested so far,

Intel Pentium D 805 2.66GHZ
Kingston HyperX PC3500 1GB 2X512MB
Seagate Barracuda 7200 80GB
Liteon 52X32X52X16 CDRW-DVD Combo Drive
BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC AGP 128MB
ASUS P5P800SE LGA775 865PE
Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W ATX12V

Anyone see any problems with this? I've been out of the loop for a while, not quite sure on everything.

P.S. All parts are being bought from Canadian retailers, as we live in canada. Please do not suggest parts that are not available in Canada. Thanks guys.
 
The Pentium D 805 isn't the greatest chip for gaming. Go PCIE not AGP you're just going to make his next upgrade more expensive by going AGP. I suggest a faster single core AMD. I think you can get a geforce 6800 with 12 pixel pipelines and 128 megs of memory for the same price and it would be a better card. NEC I've heard is the best brand for DVD Drives. The power supplies in that case isn't the greatest. Get the cheaper version without the power supply and get a decent one.
 
the pci-e boards i have seen are much more expensive.

and that isnt a case, that's a power supply.

And if you suggest a product, can you give me a link to the price in canada? This system so far is about 850+tax. And that's pushing it... budget.
