The ones he picked will be fine, I doubt you'd notice the difference between 384 and 488 cores.

Go ahead and pick yourself up an AMD 6870, you can get those for around 70 bucks now and you could even get 2 to activate Cruise Control for Cool.

no cfx for bomboys mobo unless he want to buy somesort of ridiculous overkill gpu like gtx 590 or 6990.

I found this benchmark which shows gtx 560ti (they bench with gtx 560 not ti version, ti is better) a very good choice for ultra @ 1920x1080. Note that ultra is not maxed but visual difference between ultra and maxed is negligible.

You should also try to buy that newer version of gtx 560ti which corpsesarefun told of. It's worth atleast 30 extra bucks.
