What games he's playing would help determine how much power / money...
I would suggest having him build one on his own so that he earns the fruits of his labour.
I currently have some parts if you're interested, will sell for $250:
Case
AMD FX-6100, mounted on MoBo
8gb DDR3
Asus GTX 570
So what you'll need:
PSU
Hard Drive w/ OS
Can post pics if you're interested.
