I had an E5200 or E5300 and ran it with a 7750, both of which equally needed an upgrade, though on CPU intensive games the CPU was bottlenecking pretty bad. Getting more than a 7770 wouldn't be wise unless you're planning on upgrading your MOBO, RAM, and CPU soon.

and if he IS planning on upgrading the rest later (taking a % performance loss on the GPU now b/c of CPU bottleneck) but will run w the new parts, just get a 7870.

no, I said that, if only if, he is planning on upgrading the CPU/MOBO at some point too. Like if he ever gets a FX 6300 and a AM3+ board, the 7790 will quickly become his weakest link. So the 7870 is something to consider for future proofing.
