A gtx 1050 should be okay for gaming: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PW64q4

 

This video shows it's performance at 1080p with a good set of settings:

For a total of $600 USB, you get a 120gb ssd too: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gDKhyX

 

The only reason I went with this cpu and not a 2400g or apu is because this allows for an upgrade path in the future, if your friend wants a gtx 1070 or something in the future.
