cheapest quad core without S, T or L in the name (including Xeon E3 v3) + another 4GB DDR3 stick (make sure it's not AMD only) + RTX 2060? Maybe even faster GPU and SSD. Next upgrade will be CPU, board, memory (to DDR4, none of your current sticks will be reused).

Yep, it's due to memory controller limitations. AFAIK, it's something to do with how AMD controllers are happy to handle sticks with x4 DRAM chips however, intel controllers only like playing nice with x8 and x16 DRAM chips. 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

there isnt memory for Intel only, but it is a thing on DDR3 that's specifically for AMD because Intel cut down support for 4bit memory dies on their consumer CPUs, AMD didn't. These 4bit dies are commonly used in servers, and indeed supported by Xeons on workstation chipset boards.

Oh man, that’s hilarious (and tragic lol). Just tell him (respectfully) to get his own! Maybe you can give your Ryzen box to him when you’re done ?.

Ok great! I think this will work out for the best, this way you have an upgrade path and a quite large performance boost as well.
