u dont need dual core or 2 Gigs of Ram ur good with 512 and a 250 GB HDD might even be WAY to much for u too. U could easily go down to an 80 Gig hdd and be satisfied.. if ur not gaming or anything
sure. If you want to throw it away in about 2 years. 80gig HDD is wayy too small. I have 80gigs and I'm running out of space. I have a couple of gigs of music, decent amount of movies and one game installed. I only have 8gigs free.

With the setup you're proposing - he might as well keep his current machine.
he should if hes not doing much but surfing the internet.. im guessing ur game takes up at least 10 gigs.. depeneding on what game.. ur movies is gunna be another thing thats taking up ur space.. yes i do have 2 80 gigs and one is full of music. But for the average computer user i dont think hes gunna be having maaad pornos .." i mean a decent amount of movies".
10GB's for one game? mayeb if he had it installed 5 times. even Crisis(which isn't out yet) only take 6GB's and that from what i hear is THE most intence(system requirement wise) to date
actually, I have 2 games now - STALKER: Shadow of chernobyl (that game needs a serious gaming rig to run perfectly on full settings). The other one I have is C&C3

I've just realized that your mobo is microATX. Are you looking for smaller case?
Installing OS is easy, just make sure you have all the drivers.

It may look cool, but those neon tubes are really bright. You will start getting annoyed by it pretty soon. Heck, i have 2 tiny LEDs in my case and they give off ****loads of glow.
