That card you linked to does NOT have a headphone amplifier. That is the X-i Home Theater HD and is meant for Home theater use and while it has analog output it has no built in amplifier chip.
The HD-595's are low impedance he doesn't need a amplfiier at this time.
The only two cards out right now that do caontin amplifiers are the Halo and ther Essence (soon to be released). I still say go with the Prelude and HD595 combo. That would be the best for gaming given his cans. Just my opinion though.
