Friend needs upgrades

[IGetKillsFTW]

So my friend right now has a prebuilt he got from office max and it has a old fm2 mobo with an A10-7850k and no gpu. His PSU may not also be that good. I told him maybe the 1060 3gb might be good but now that he's told me more about the setup I don't think itll be useful cause of the massive bottleneck, etc. I don't really know what would be good for that. I told him he's gonna need to upgrade the cpu and mobo and PSU. I don't really know what to recommend him as far as a gpu. I thought the i3 6100 or the i5 6500 would be a good upgrade cpu wise. I wanna try to keep the price down so cheap but reliable is nice.

I always recommend people go for Ryzen 7 right now, or wait for Ryzen 5, since you will get much improved performance (Ryzen 5 is coming in a few months). But that all depends on how long your willing to wait and how much you can spend, with the lowest, but still very good, Ryzen 7 coming in at US$329. For a Gpu if you were looking around the 1060 price range, it may be the best option (Rx 480 vs 1060 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23EpAY46PxI). However, depending on where you live, buying a second hand 970 or 980/ti, may also be a good option (keeping in mind that the 980 ti has almost identicle performance to the 1070! If its a prebuilt the PSU is almost garanteed to be terrible, you'll want to grab something like an evga 500b or cx430M (https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/). If you can't get Ryzen then it depends on what they will be doing on the PC that dictates the CPU. The case may not fit a standard motherboard, so getting an S340 would be in order if that turns out to be the case.
Hope this helps out! Cause it took 15 minutes to write!
