After doing some more research (Autodesk forums, etc.), it seems as if a GTX 1060 may be able to suffice.
I would personally recommend saving a bit longer and going for a GTX 1070

Honestly, I doubt he'll see much of a difference for CAD between the two. Gaming on the other hand...

Yeah, I was sure hoping to save a bit more for a 1070, but I'm on a time crunch.

Why is this the case? CAD software probably isn't going to be more graphically taxing than high-end games. Is it in how the software uses the hardware?

It has to do with OpenGL vs. DirectX. Cory and Sanddrag were talking about this earlier. Basically, Quadro cards are more focused on OpenGL, which SolidWorks uses, whereas GTX cards are more focused on DirectX. However, Inventor is DirectX-based, so both types of cards can run it well.
