Pretty easy to upgrade later when needed, if he finds himself needing more.

True, but it makes more sense to have enough from the start.

Imo it's best only to get as much as you actually need, and not overstep.  Because prices drop over time and HDD capacities rise over time, so if you only need X now, it's better to buy X now and Y in the future (for cheaper) than everything now.

In that case then yes, 4890 probably better... But his rendering apps might need Cuda?  Don't know, never personally done rendering before.
