I don't think you will find much better than melbourne720s specification for the money although you could save a little bit of cash and buy the 520w version of the Corsair HX. This could allow you to get a second DVDRW if you really want one.

He doesnt need much, he could get a 2900 or GTS in that with a low cost C2D and clock it.
