i second this, AM3+ is really outdated at this point it'd be better for your friend to buy a new Pentium or i3 as then there is room for a cpu upgrade, AM3+ is basically restricting him to whatever cpu he buys and then thats it, if he wants a different cpu in a few years then you'll need quite a few new parts.
