-Your friend,

if you can go to a physical micro center store, get all your parts there and spend the extra money you save on your mobo and CPU on your GPU and get a 7850 or something similar.
In my opinion you should get an AM3+ CPU and mobo. The reason for this is that if they want to upgrade to an 8 core in the future they dont need a new motherboard. If there is 8 core fm2 then it would be fine.
Well I got that one is because the person I'm thinking about isn't to pc savvy so i was thinking if he wants he can just get a AMD APU to bum up his pafomince in the future. (That,s also why its a AMD GPU)
it doesn't work that way, once you're using a dedicated card the integraded graphics are disabled, unless you do hybrid crossfire, but that would be with a 6670 and it would be worse than the 7770
