Is that graphics card the only part you have right now? If so I'd suggest going with one of the R5 CPU's but how much is your budget for the overall system?

Ryzen 5 1500X @ 3.9GHz On 1.3625V | MSI B350M Gaming Pro | 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200MHz | 3GB MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 2063MHz Core 9408MHz Mem | EVGA G2 550W | 250GB Samsung 850 EVO | Windows 10 Home 64-bit Version 1903 (Build 18362.295) | MasterCase Pro 3

If his budget is really limited yeah I agree, but if his GPU is just something free or he got extremely cheap & only temporary I personally would go with a higher end CPU so that doesn't need to be upgraded anytime too soon.

If you're on a tight budget the Pentium G4560 is unreal value. I can't remember ever seeing such a good gaming cpu for $60.

But if you can afford it for $230, the Ryzen R5 1600 is amazing value for a cpu that should last you a long time.

You can get the 1600 for like 200, the 1600x is like 240. No reason to get the x imo.

R5 1600, Asus Prime B350, 16gb corsair vengeance, nzxt s340, gigabyte gtx 1060, cryorig h7, 256gb adata su800. More in Link.

Nice, I hadn't seen the 1600 for less than $230 but I haven't looked in a few weeks I guess. Yeah the 1600x feels like a waste of money.
