I would do this instead (just my opinion)

Now trust me, this is going to have allot more gaming performance, it should be able to run Battlefield 4 on ultra with no real lag... if hes been a console peasant he should transform into the PCMasterRace after this, the R9 270 is a good card and esspecially with Mantle I think its a great option. The best part is that its cheaper too!

tried to stay under 600

why 660? well xfx 7870 was same price, but have horrible cooler. 7870 is only better than 660 if overclocked or mantle, so...

alltho you can also get 6300 and gigabyte 270 if you want.

you can also drop the expensive case to more cheaper one if you want

you can even fit much more powerful gpu in

Here what I would get

It's over budget (which I assume is 600) by $9.

If the circumstances were different, I wouldn't go with an asrock motherboard, but it was one of the cheapest 970 motherboard
