Want to give him enough graphics to stream/play some games.
I'm kinda thinking a FX-4350 (On sale for $79.99 right now) with a better GPU would be better. Add in a MSI Radeon RX470 4GBx256-bit ($169.99) and he'd have a decent machine. With your listed board, ram, and SSD, he'd come in at $375.95.
Ultimately his decision and he has to decide what's best for him.

I know from experience even a fx-6300 has some hitches running regular day to day shit.
Didnt he say he doesnt game? Used GPU from hardwareswap you can get something like a 960/r9 270 for around 100 bucks.
