if you can manage to get another $14 then you can get this card which will do an excellent job and beats the more expensive nvidia equivalent in everything except power consumption and a few nvidia preferred games http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr929wf34gd

Depends on how bad he needs a GPU. If he doesn't have anything that will play decent games
then it might be worthwhile just to buy a DX11 one now.
I am personally skeptical about DX12. Unless it is backported to 7 it will not get much adoption

^ all GCN parts will support DX12. but AFAIK the spec for DX12 are not finalized yet. So there could be new feature that require new hardware that did no exist on current generation of GPU (nvidia for their part said in the past that there will be new feature in DX12 needing new hardware).
