probably a bit overkill, but it will play games fairly nicely.

however i would recommend this card:

Little cheaper, DirectX 11, single slot. Also same performance as a 9800GTX which also has the same performance as the GTS 250.

That card has less memory. Might want to find him a better one.

How about ATI 5750? It support DX 11 with similar price.
