I haven't been following the 1366 boards that closely but the memory I've seen comes in 2GB sticks X3 for 6 GB or 2GB sticks X6 for 12 GB. I guess you could combine 3 2GB sticks with 3 1GB sticks.
For a hard drive, I'd look at getting an SSD large enough to put his games and OS on and another regular 500GB drive.
