What's a decent budget CPU to buy right now?

Looking for advice on what CPU to get (for a friends kid) who plays looter shooters at 1080p where FPS beyond 120 isn't an issue.

He's looking for a modest cost for an entire build (750 -1k) so thinking GPU wise to hit the 6700XT or there abouts, but for the CPU I'm a little stumped.

Is the 5600X what I should be looking at, or is there something from Intel worth picking up at that end of the scale? My last 4-5 builds have all been much higher spec so I'm not too clued in here.

Thanks in advance!
