In terms of the GPU, I would take the GT220 just because of it being a slightly newer product. Seems like a great build for someone that is younger.

go with the GT220... and the CPU is great.. i have one and it over clocked to 3.01 GHz without a problem

i would take this motherboard

with athlon2 x2 240

i have this setup at 3.6, great setup for cheap

for the psu, check direct canada, the bfg 550w is 45$

Take the x2 240 .. only a bit more like $4-5 more ... and it can OC alot better, runs cooler, newer tech .
