Upgrade advice

My brother is a big gamer and he wants to upgrade his PC to be able to play the new version of Americas Army. Here is the link to the sys req for that game:

He is currently running an AMD Althlon64 X2 1.8ghz, Nvidia 6600GT 128mb pci-e video card, 1gb dual channel ram, on an Nforce4 motherboard. He is passing the minimu sys reqs for it but he likes to turn on all the cool stuff and have a good frame rate. I was looking at telling him to get the following stuff:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Toledo 2.4GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - OEM - 225

XFX PVT71GUQF3 GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail - 199.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814150216

These two things should get him up to par with the suggested specs, the audio stuff is not so important cause he uses headphones and the onboard audio covers the minimum audio stuff. If it helps I can get the exact model of the board and his budget is less then 500 bucks. If there is a better deal out there to convert him to Intel I'm open to suggestions. I know a decent amount about computers just not the gamming side of it cause I don't do that myself so I really appreaciate all the help you guys can give me.
