Computer for friend, critique? :)

I was asked by a friend to build him a computer for a graduation present, I gladly accepted , especially beacuse I need to brush up on my not-too-good computer skills. Well I've picked the components out for my friend, found a good case for him. Now my only issue is a video card. It's an AGP system with an AMD 64, and I wanted a good video card that'll last him a long time (and to game with for a while). Now the case itself doesn't have amazing cooling, but it is apprently a good case (according to reviews). I'd like to add a blowhole and possibly a side fan. If anybody has any suggestion on the components I'm using (I'll post them, with links) please post 'em here. Also any suggestions on modding will be kindly accepted too. Since this rig's for a friend he said I could "spend" about one thousand dollars, not including tax or anything. I've not gone too high, and all I really need is a video card, again, ANY suggestions on anything welcome.


Here's what I got going:
