I'd upgrade the cpu and gpu, with a cooler if you wanted overall power.

However, if you are only playing Csgo at 1080p, 60 fps, you would not need such power on the gpu, so you could go down to a 380 and grab an ssd

I'd opt for this as that motherboard won't support that 8 core FX without very good VRM cooling.

It will work fine, if he sees VRM temperature spikes he can purchase a bag of VRM heatsinks for $3.

I'd do exactly as Rapture recommended.
