I would just get the ATI 6870, you should not experience any severe problems. However, if the card was a 470 or 560 TI, I would choose those though it would still bit a bit slower. You're suggesting a whole lot of cards that would be bottlenecked out the ass by his CPU. For Nvidia, reasonable resolution, and no OC, I wouldn't go above a GTS 450 with his setup. Regardless, he really just needs to upgrade the whole system, it'll be less headache, and not too terribly expensive to get better performance than he has now. I am not suggesting, just giving him a mere comparison of the cards and how I would have preferred it.
Fair enough. Lots of people are actually suggesting too much card though.

I've had a great experience with my 6870 so far, so I recommend it.

is bumping allowed? -bump-

All recent discrete graphic cards are better than Intel's integrated graphics.

If you do decide to go for something in the pricerange of a gts450, I'd consider a 6750. Same price point, but more impressive benchmarks, and less power usage (not that you're limited, but it's always nice)

I'd go with the 6870. I have a 470GTX Superclock, and I adore it, but the 6870 is the clear favorite between the two. (And I am a die-hard Nvidia fan)

Question: Kind of related to what we're talking about.
What's wrong with ATI? like specifics or an elaborate answer to why. The only problem I had was when my ATI X1600 pro fan burned out.

There's nothing wrong with ATI. It's just personal preference.

Anybody who thinks one or the other brand has specific problems that the other doesn't is lying to themselves. I think the last time there was a specific problem was certain lower end 4xxx series cards that weren't really designed for high-end gaming having VREG's that couldn't handle FurMark Benchies, causing some damage, but this was fixed with drivers. Aside from that, both brands have their share of all of the issues that happen.

And this whole time, I was under the impression that ATI cards are somewhat inferior to Nvidia in one way or another based on what everyone tells me personally.
I don't suppose you can also help explain me about Intel and AMD? I hear Intel is doing really well compare of AMD in terms of their CPUs.

Right now there is a large descrepancy in processing power per clock cycle in favor of Intel. You get much more performance out of the new Sandy Bridge range of processors.
