Since he wants it for gaming, go for a pentium g4560 and a 1050ti. If not, wait for ryzen 3.

pentium's a good call, he's tryna go all cheap af so i would think the 460 because its like a $30 difference for a 6-8 fps difference

Might want to also change out the board for a DDR4 one if you can afford it, that one uses the cheaper and more readily available DDR3.

Cool. A 1060 build (even if it's a 3GB) will be awesome for $500.
