-£500-£600
-Able to run games like Skyrim at possibly medium or so settings?
-The case to look normal, so no lights or "edgy" designs.
Please could you make any recommendations for what he should get?

A. Upgrade to a fx-8000 series CPU, allowing me to keep my current motherboard.
B. Upgrade to an intel cpu that can handle a 1070.
C. Wait for the zen cpus and upgrade to one of those.
I would like to switch to intel, but if I could get the same performance by upgrading to an 8000 series card then it might save me some money. I need something that won't bottleneck a 1070.

AMD CPU's dont go well with gaming due to their poor single core peformance since most games only use a core or 2, a better single core peformance usually means more frames. Well DirectX12 should make use of more cores thus solve that problem.
Well for its price is p good so why not.
You can always build one yourself wich is the best option imo. It gives you a wide variety of options to you and its like building lego's but with like 7 bricks and a forgetload of wires

Skyrim can be run at medium settings using basically any graphics card from the past 5 years... My GTX 560 (which goes for $50-70 on ebay) can run it at max settings 40-50 fps.
