4870 
4870
This is why me and him cannot decide, hes new to PC's, im not. I have a Palit GTX 260 '216' 65nm clocked quite high, and even higher when my TR HR-03 GTX arrives! Now i know that the ATI cards pump out a lot of heat, he has a Coolermaster Elite 335, so that MAY be a small problem, so that another issue and another factor.

That Coolermaster case is suprisingly good for the money! OCUK use it as the base case for most of their systems so thats gotta be saying somthing

The ATI Radeon 4870 and the Nvidia GeForce 260 are both very similar in terms of performance. There isn't really much that separates them. Whichever one your friend gets, he will be pleased with it.

GTX 260 if you overrclock your cards.
4870 1GB if you do not overclock.
Out of the box, a 4870 is a little faster in most games. However, the GTX260 overclocks much better than the 4870 (which ATI run very close to its GPU limit). When both cards are overclocked, the GTX is faster in most games and will generally out-perform a stock GTX280.
