He could also just get a 750 Ti+i3 depending on what he'll be playing. We could be suggesting 970s to a guy who wants to play Minecraft and LoL.

I got 750ti +i3 but games like subnautica get critical... And he wants to Play upcoming games

to sum it up really shortly :
i3 + 950/370 = better performance for gaming right now, but may suffer in longlivity
i5 + 750ti/360 = better reliability for future updates by sacrificing about 10-15fps in every title
also we don't know which games he plans to play, which would make it easier to get to a conclusion
Well, I don't think i5 is really all that future proof tbh. Games are likely going to remain far more GPU-bound anyway.
If you went for something like:
CPU 120
GPU 250
Mobo 70
PSU 40
RAM 20
HDD 60 (you could drop this lower ~20 if you want to squeeze more)
Case 40 (you could drop this lower/entirely by picking something, anything, up locally if wanted)
CPU Cooler 20 (you could drop this entirely and just deal with the few extra db)
if you drop the last 3 down a few notches you have an extra $100 to play with. If you are making room for upgrades then going for lower tier HDD, RAM, and HSF give you room to improve easily and cheaply - a GPU or CPU are going to be $100-300 upgrades, but adding more ram is ~$20, adding a HSF is ~$20, changing case could be ~$40. Now you have nearly $500 for your CPU/GPU, which you can use to get a i5-4460/i5-6400 + r9 390/gtx 970 (though you will have to check PSU, you might not quite be able to squeeze that far up with GPU, or might have to lower the CPU a bit).
<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff
Mm.. I agree if his budget goes to the limit he should probably get 4gb ram(about 20$) and buy another 4gb ram later and probably fast if he immediately starts to play the latest games because otherwise he will suffer lots of fps drops.
I would highly recommend you to buy GTX 960 and Intel Skylake i3-6100 for the main parts without no doubt to get the best experience form the latest games with that price point.
And probably spend in the other parts something like ImmortalPig mentioned.

Thats true that cpu is not as Important as the gpu
But you can have the powerful Graphics card of thwe world, if youre playing something with alot of Physics the lagspikes would be massive
