The quadro cards do have great support and drivers, but they are very pricey. It is possible to flash certain cards to their Quadro counterparts, but I'm not sure if it is worth it.

It takes forever to render with onboard, yes, but Im saying if you get a 4670 it'll be perfect for what he needs.

How about this used beast for $320 and that leaves you enough for a good vid card and monitor too
http://www.overclock.net/sale/476296...g-parting.html

Monitor Samsung 21.5, 5ms $169.99 after MIR and free shipping.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001308

That leaves you with about $100ish for a vid card.

That didin't include the HDD, CD/DVD-ROM and PS for this build

Argg scratch the case, I thought is was a mid tower.

New case and psu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.165597

You could get off the Quad and get a good DC and save some $ and still have a great rig
