Well I can't find any direct benchmark of the GTX295 of Skyrim , but there is a benchmark with GTX260 which has the same amount of VRAM as the 295 and it scores 31.6 fps on 1080p ultra settings:
https://www.google.co.il/search?q=skyrim+benchmark+%22gtx+295%22&tbm=isch&ei=UrG7U4j9N4OV7AagwIHICA#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=S4rgm9nWpfnWPM%253A%3B7M_-eqoXYWbYxM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fcdn.overclock.net%252Ff%252Ff4%252Ff4e97626_TES-V-Skyrim-Grafikkarten-Benchmarks-1920.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.overclock.net%252Ft%252F1238932%252Fgtx-what%252F20%3B650%3B689
The GTX 295 has the performance of a GTX570 though, and the 570 gets 55.5 on that benchmark, so the 295 should do better than 55fps on medium settings.
The HD4000 scores only 33.4 fps on medium settings at 1050p:
https://www.google.co.il/search?q=skyrim+hd+4000&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=fbK7U5nyCMz74QTuzoDgBg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1440&bih=805#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=LV_i2P8xlH-lyM%253A%3BiukpAh6-y513yM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fimages.anandtech.com%252Fgraphs%252Fgraph5626%252F44733.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.anandtech.com%252Fshow%252F5626%252Fivy-bridge-preview-core-i7-3770k%252F15%3B550%3B420
So the GTX 295 will do much better than the HD4000 at medium settings, but the 295 is a power hog so check that your PSU is up to it.

He said he could get it cheaply. So let's consider that. BUT, (Big but hehe) that card guzzles power. It will probably cost more in the long term than a gtx 750 or R7-260x. I would go with the newer cards
