I can play p99 on a laptop with integrated intel graphics on a low speed (2.4ghz) i5 at 1366x768.
If all he plays is p99, theres no need to get a new computer at all. It was designed to run on pII 450's and a vodoo 3 card with 256mb of ram and an ata33 hard drive.
The amd 7770 he's looking at is a reasonably good video card. To feed it well, he should go with the i5.
