I’m looking at building a system for my brother and I want to get him a 2400G, I’m not sure what graphics card to get him that won’t bottleneck the system or make it prone to issue as such.

Your answer would depend on how demanding the game you want to play will be. I would say an RX 560 2GB would be the best choice for the least amount of money. If you want to know a bottleneck for your system. You can use game-debates can i run it at http://www.game-debate.com/can-I-run/

I believe that the cpu, gpu, ram, and gaming companies pay them to tell you through their 'recommended lists.' I have no proof, but my meager gtx 1050 in my laptop will run final fantasy 14 at full resolution at the highest settings and get 90-120fps. It says on that website that it is botttlenecking, but I don't ever see a hiccup.

Best of luck!

The Ryzen 2400G includes integrated graphics which are roughly equivalent to an Nvidia GTX1030. In comparison, this is about 2 - 3 times better than Intel's integrated graphics. If you buy this APU, you don't need a discrete graphics card (for low end gaming). If you want to step up, a Ryzen 1400 or 1500X provides similar CPU power (and no integrated graphics) and then add a GTX1050Ti GPU.
 
Yes, I knew your chip had great new GPU technology. The only time I messed with integrated graphics that were worth it was the AMD A series. They had some kind of pairing system with a dedicated GPU. I can't remember what it was called or how to do it, but I paired it with an ATI 2400 firepro and it would run anything. This may be the same for you. All you may need is some low end GPU to pair with it for extra GPU RAM or something else I cannot explain other than my previous experience, that is 100% truth. I know it seems redunculous, but it is true as the grass is green (granted, the grass is watered).

I know your CPU benchmarks at around 9000, on Passmark. I also know people are pairing CPU's with those kind of benchmarks with GTX 1080's. You shouldn't have an issue to get the highest card money can buy. Heck, I know someone with a GTX 1070 and a CPU made in 2006 (the Q6700). Now, we both know that is an extreme bottleneck on the CPU, especially benchmarking around 3400 on Passmark. He has had the GTX 970 for 2 years prior. The CPU is still kicking and hasn't died yet. Sure, it is a good thing to be cautious, but I think you'll be okay no matter which way you choose to go.

I'm not too sure if I am hot or cold to what you want to hear, but those are things I thought of after your reply. I thought you may want to know them.
