Need lighting for green screen & foreground subject ($2k budjet)

Ok, I don't want to spend more than $2,000 on a full lighting setup. I need to light a green screen, and then the person(s) in front of it (We're doing video game reviews which will be presented in FLV format, if that is relevent).

I'm having trouble (because I'm a complete newb) trying to decide what type of lights and who to buy from.

So to light the subject, I assume I'll need something like a 3 point lighting setup. Could I get away with something like this? http://www.rostronics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=dual600W3lightkit

And then as far as the green screen, I read in this article: http://www.bluesky-web.com/broadcastvideoexamples-greenscreen.html that he simply used 2 600 watt open faced lights, so that would just be 2 of these then?

I think one thing you may find is that Rostronics is just a britek dealer and people around here have strong opinions both ways on britek. Just do a search here for "britek" in the lighting forum and see the past postings on the subject and decide for yourself.
