and will he oc the pc

That system will cost way under $1200. I would recommend something like this:

AMD 64 3200+ Socket 939
ATI x800GTO 256MB PCI-E
Asus AN8 NF4/NF4 Ultra
Case doesnt matter much
Aspire 520W 24-Pin PSU
1GB ValueSelect 2x512MB.

I wouldnt get 2x 256MB sticks seeing that it limits his upgrading capabilities, and most games should have 1GB of ram.

$150-$200 from newegg. You could also put in some more money on the GPU and get a decent 6800 if you wanted.
