Trust me, you'll notice the upgrade from the very same moment you turn on your PC.
That said, I remember that your PC is a bit old, and I don't know if your motherboard will have an SATA 3 port to fully notice the extra speed of an SSD.

He will still notice a difference despite running a Nahelem/Westmere based CPU.
Boards of that era typically ran with Sata 2, which topped out at 300MB/s. Higher-end boards though sometimes came with Sata 3 at 600MB/s.
A mechanical disk isn't going to max either interface out except for some specific burst scenario's. (I.E. Reading data directly from a mechanical disks Ram.) Most mechanical disks will top out at 150MB/s. Sometimes even less.
An SSD will still provide a substantual improvement... And the low access times will make everything stupidly snappy and responsive.

I know, it's just that the difference won't be as big as it could be.
On the plus side, he wouldn't need to look for the best SSD out there and could simply look for the one with the best GB/price ratio.
