In all seriousness, you should not be a 'computer guru' for someone you so obviously despise. Even worse if your actually doing the upgrade for this guy. I am assuming this may be the case as by your description, he may not even be able to install a vid card.
You really want the hassel of being this guy's tech support and getting the blame everytime he downloads a virus, develops a network issue or his fans get clogged with dust? I hesitate building a system or even giving specific upgrade advice to people I actually like for this very reason.
I usually steer people who arn't too computer savy towards a few things within their price range, tell them what to avoid and then tell them to use a search engine and do their own research. If your too lazy to even check a few posts and fall for flashy colors like a chimp attracted to a pile of fruit, you pretty much deserve a 8500GT with a big Turbo Charged label on the box.
