Need some advice

So basically my friend is trying to construct a a semi budget PC. 

 

He says his needs are something around the ability to run at least medium range games(for example he plays CS:GO, Dead island, but will probably have plans for some higher end games later.). Umm just the ability to multi task, game, music, team speak, basics. 

 

He would like to keep it at maximum $600. 

 

Currently hes looking at this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6cYHgs

 

Questions or suggestion PLEASE leave below. 

 

Thanks.

 

 

P.S. I wasn't sure where to post this so I just threw it in here.

 

Also sorry if I missed a bunch of info he's not really sure what he wants/needs and I have no clue.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: ALSO IF SOMEONE KNOWS HOW TO GET ACCESS OR SOMETHING TO A LOST ADMIN PROFILE WITH RESTORING BEING THE LAST RESORT PLEASE SHARE. :D

Sdd is good for boot. It may not be THE BEST SSD EVER but it is an sdd better than any hdd. The 280x beats the 960 by about 15% and it cheap now. Way better than a 750 ti. I would for with the 4460 for the cpu and maybe a little bit better psu would be a great idea.

Thanks man, me and him are both hoping he and i get new pc's. :D him more than me.

 

I deleted the Users folder to access a computer which i didn't know the password for.

Sorry, I am skerb/nub. How would this help gain access to an admin profile(from one I believe isn't).

Get any psu with at LEAST an 80+ Bronze rating. Also a safe buffer. SO if the system is a 450 w I wouldn't go with 500 but 550 or 600.
