This should fulfill all your needs. /g/ calls it the poor mans card, but it could play crysis without bottlnecking.

that would be a downgrade from his old card.

before you go and buy anything, post the specifications of your PSU. You may be able to buy a 5750 or a 5770 instead of a crap card. If your PSU is a POS, I'd recommend a 5670. If you have any PCI-e connectors at all, I'll reccomend a 5770 (which btw overclocks like a beast)

Edit: for 175, get whatever you want in the 5xxx series. 4890 if you're using XP, though, since there is no dx11 support at all for XP, not even through patches.
