Oh man i completely missed the animation part!!!
Get a amd firepro v4800 @ 10k~.
But if adobe is on the list then go ahead with nvidia. Adobe favours cuda.
Also let us know which graphics card do the animation studio recommend?
Which softwares u will use?

Oh i missed it too. Rendering cards are very expensive and nvidia femi based quadros will cost an arm and a leg. Jaskanwar's suggestion is also my choice as the v4800 is a great card and is relatively cheap for the performance it gives.
But op should also check the softwares he will use and their requirements.

ysmonyog, let me clarify thetype of graphics card 1st.. there are two types of graphics cards available, gaming Graphics card and workstation graphics card.
As the name suggests, gaming graphics cards are mainly developed for providing good gaming experience. But now a days lots of extra features have been added to these cards and they are now capable of improving the performance of lots of applications apart from gaming.
All the applications you've mentioned are actually going to be benefited even if you add a current generation gaming cards. These cards are available in all the ranges, from 2K to 40K
On the other hand, Workstation cards are designed to assist the development works and gaming is simply not possible of them. So if you add these kind of graphics card then obviously the performance boost will be huge but on the expense of gaming experience and I'm sure your son is not gonna like it. These cards are costly and you can't find a decent one at below 10K price tag.
So if you take my suggestion, I'll recommend you a modern generation gaming cards which will solve both the purpose. My suggestion will be Zotac GTX 460 1 GB @ 10K. The reason for suggesting an nVidia card is as CUDA is more mature and the number of softwares support nVidia's card is greater than that of ATI.

+1 for 460. Adobe favours cuda.
Thanks Cilus for explaining the Graphic Cards and suggestion for Zotac GTX460 1GB.
Jaskanwar has also given it a +1.
I shall purchase this card at the end of March.
Thanks everyone.
p.s. I hope I dont need to upgrade my RAM / PSU / UPS for working with these softwares and new Graphic Card.

CSE Freak!
I'm currently using an nVidia ASUS ENGTS450 (1GB)... Am very happy with it's performance...Rendering is very quick too... (I did some Adobe Premiere movies...and also regularly use MediaCoder...) I got it for Rs.8K a month back... Now with the GTS 550Ti around the corner, you might as well go for it... CUDA really speeds things up in animation and rendering work...
As for the gaming spec (just for the sake of it!) GTS 450 gives ~50fps in NFS Hot Pursuit at max settings in 1440x900... And also ~40fps in Mafia2 at max settings at the same resolution... Haven't tested Crysis 2 yet...
I assume thats ZOTAC...The Amp! versions are extremely overclocked...But I don't think that'll benefit rendering...Games will be faster though...Besides, overclocked cards run a bit hot... And the SE edition has less number of stream processors (288 to the normal 336, which will definitely impact rendering performance) So you can safely go with the vannila GTX460... (This is my opinion!)
