Well, without him gaming much, and with the budget, the CPU is going to be the greater upgrade. I think there is a happy medium there. I still am a fan of buying GPUs used. They rarely fail, and the secondary market on them right now is tilted towards buyers with all the new stuff coming in the last couple of years.
If he wont go used GPU, then both, less processor and less GPU than what I proposed is likely what we are looking at.
