Overkill? Not at all. He's going to be CPU limited no matter what GPU he selects. FYI I have an E8400 build running a GTX 285 and that GPU is on par with a modern 1030.

So, if you agree the CPU is going to be the limiting factor, why suggest a gpu that's over budget when one half the price will work just as well on that machine?

Two reasons: even if he's CPU bound, a GTX 1030 is newer and faster and will still perform better. I see no point in saving the cost of two McDonald's meals with a two year old and slower GPU.
