If he wants to pay a little more, I'd recommend an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra or a Radeon 9600XT (like the one you linked) for around $150. For $170, you can get an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT which is a complete powerhouse compared to the aformentioned cards. After the $170 range, the only performance gain worth mentioning is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro which can be bought for about $200. This is the best deal on the market right now, end of story, no discussion. The power and speed you get from a Radeon 9800 Pro for $200 is simply incredible. It's almost sad to see ATI get "ripped off" so badly by this deal.
