He's going into Comp Sci, not graphic design. I suspect that he wants to dabble with 3d rendering on the side. A professional card is completely unnecessary. In fact it will perform worse for more money because I suspect that he will be gaming more than doing 3D rendering and will be mostly programming and gaming with this rig among other every-day tasks.
