If your resolution is 1080p GTX-780 would be perfectly fine :)

For a single 1080p display a 780 is absolutely an overkill

Bear in mind that he won't upgrade his PC next two years so single GTX-780 is perfectly fine :)

I switched to the EVGA brand since BFG Tech closed. I have never had any problems with them. All video card manufactures have their isolated issues but most of them are easily patch unless it's hardware and with EVGA you are covered. As a mater of fact, my friend gave me a burned 670 FTW and I called EVGA and they sent me a brand new GTX 770 SC. With that said, EVGA is perhaps if not the best one of the best video card manufactures. Another brand i trust is ASUS but i have never bough any video cards from them.
