Upgrading An Old Computer

[Sorfex0]

Hello guys my friend asked my opinion about in what order he should upgrade his pc. I was not really sure so here i am asking u guys. He uses his pc mainly for gaming and browsing and wants to upgrade from part to part. I am not sure but i think he has enough budget to upgrade by one part in time so he can buy like i5-4690 or 280x/gtx970.
Temps are bad too i think he has AeroCool Predator x1 with one exaust fan in the back. Mb He should get case first for better temps then?

His spec atm:

PSU: SL-500A
CPU: AMD Athlon x4 750k

MOBO: Gigabyte F2A55M-S1

RAM: 1x8GB 1600MHz

GPU: Asus GTX 650 2GB

That's not really a bad case if he has at least one intake and one exhaust fans. The first thing I would do is upgrade the GPU, to a 280x or a 970, whatever he can afford. I say this because it will be the most noticeable upgrade in terms of performance in games. Just keep in mind you might want to upgrade his PSU as well. 

 

Maybe he should also upgrade his storage, slow hard drives can really be annoying for multi tasking or even web browsing. 

 

Later on I would upgrade whatever cooler he has, and overclock that 750k, which is actually a great processor. Then I will think about upgrading the motherboard and processor.

Thanks for advice.
