Advice Graphics card for rendering?

[Access Denied]

So my mate wants me to build him a computer that can render graphics at a reasonably quick pace. Not ultra HD but decent quality. What would you guys recommend in the way of Graphics cards? I told him he's looking at a 980 minimum but to be honest I don't really know what's good for rendering.

Ta muchly.

Depends what he's rendering and what software he's rendering with.
