Those are shitty graphics cards, don't bother buying a nvidia card without at least a gtx prefix.
For him, I am sure that it is enough. He doesn't seem like that hardcore of a gamer. So they are not shitty for him in this case. They could run most games in mid range quality.
But you only need a powerful graphics card if you are running multiple displays, causing you to have a giant display, thus needing a best. And I doubt you have 3+ monitors.
Chances are it won't fit into your motherboard anyway. Don't go stealin video cards if you don't know what to do with em :P
