great build, that computer would last a LONG time compared to a Pentium or Celeron.

but what else does he need?

if he doenst have anything.....he still needs OS(vista or XP), monitor, and keyboard/mouse/speakers

Change MB to GIGABYTE GA-G31MX-S2 and use onboard graphic.
Buy OS

You could always use your current OS, leave the older one for backup or put Ubuntu on it, and I if you needed an monitor... then I could downgrade more..

So what Do you really need?

Monitor?
Keyboard/Mouse?
Speakers?
Gaming GFX?
