3 item to buy (want to upgrade pc), which one should I buy first, second and last?

My suggestion to you, depending on your current budget, would be to get yourself a new reputable PSU and an i3 or i5 or even an i7 intel CPU. And another 8GB stick of RAM. Just getting yourself off of the Pentium brand into the i-series will be a jump in performance along with the memory.
i would put SSD above the rest if he's still booting off a HDD
it boosts the experience by a lot (even on my core 2 quad system) and the power draw change wouldnt be too different warranting a worry for the PSU
but yes, looking for an i5 6400/6500/6600 or i7 6700 would be a decent upgrade
and another 8gb of RAM would be nice too, i would grab this before CPU.
SSD -> RAM/PSU -> CPU
