1080p, gaming, nothing else 

What games? I would likely recommend a GTX 960 or GTX 750 Ti (If you play less intensive games) with a hyperthreaded i3 or the Athlon 860k.

The 950 is a better choice or a R9 380 if he can afford it(the 960 doesn't perform as good a the R9 380 in most games)

GTX 960 for the lower TDP, as an HTPC, the lower TDP should lead to less noise.

Good point, but it depends on the case.

Well, unless they buy Noctuas, which would be expensive...

What I would lean to, the R9 380 I chose seems quiet and relatively efficient: ( http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_radeon_r9_380_gaming_2g_review,8.html ) if you are fine with losing performance get the 960 it should be slightly quieter and more efficient (depending on model of course I recommend MSI twin forzr and EVGA ACX)
