They definitely don't mean a i5 7600k, which is a fairly recent chip. That's an old motherboard, so old Nehalem CPUs are the only ones that will run. It's about on the level of an FX-6300, so it's better than an i3 550, but we're talking about a budget CPU rather than a "good" one. It was a solid CPU at the time, but that time was 2010.
Whether it's a smart upgrade depends on what the cost of the CPU is and the rest of the rig. At $25, it's a reasonable upgrade, but your friend shouldn't expect miracles.

See the problem here is you are being vague. "run games" can mean anything from League of Legends to PUBG. It would help to know exactly which games.
In general, an i5 750 or 760 would work well with a 1050 in a lot of games. There are plenty of games that both of those components can handle. Not the newest, most demanding games though, your friend needs to be reasonable.
As to where to buy them, well they will be used parts. So where ever you buy used computer parts where you live is where to look.
