Pretty sure he's building this so he can emulate (PS2 and other stuff) better.  So probably just use his old GPU.

For PS2 emulation pretty much you just need a (very) powerful CPU with high single core performance (i5/i7 at 4Ghz will be able to emulate almost everything without using any speed hacks), with at least 2 cores (but any more than 2 doesn't help), and a DX11 supporting GPU that's not totally bad (so any cheap-ish $150 GPU should be just fine).




Though if I were him, I would just overclock his current PC (Phenom 2?) to like 4GHz, that should work just fine.
