if i keep the cpu does it degrade the performance alot while gaming ?

Can't help with the issue, but if you want them to respond, quote them in your post so they get a notification. Unless they are afk, then I guess patience is key.

1080 would fit into the budget

also maybe a new CPU and RAM for newer games if you want

That cpu is fine, games are still made to run fine on amds cpus with the bad ipc they have I'm running a 970 on a westmere cpu for gods sake and have no issues, unless he is wanting to run a super cpu intensive game(not too common), that cpu wont hold him back at all, and even on those games the benefit won't be overly large in most cases,  for example in the battlefield 1 beta i get a Min of 70FPS, Max of 119, and a Avg of 89.072 for the ultra preset on my Dell t3500 w/t a w3550 and a gtx 970, the total computer cost under 400$us(only 100$us for just the pc) and it could be built cheaper for the same price now that the 480 exists
