If he really wants it, sure.

If he's got doubts, he can wait for the GTX1070 and save $200.

are u sure that the bottleneck will be in only 1% of the games?

If we exclude bad ports that run like crap regardless of how over-powered the CPU might be, there is literally only a few handfuls of games that make meaningful use of significantly more powerful CPUs out of hundreds of thousands of games out there.
