$600 Build Recommendations?

I'm doing a build for a friend, and I want to know if there's anything you would improve on.  He probably won't be doing anything crazy on it, and the goal is not to max out the budget.

Any CX550M or RMx

Looks good, but you should try to fit in a cheap 120gb. ssd if you can like this:

He has actually told me he doesn't want one.  Doesn't trust it or something

I would suggest a penituim g3528. Get a good cooler, overclock the hell out of it, and it will beat a 6100.

Any of these are good

He has never had a gaming pc before and I don't think he'll want to deal with an overclock

The SSD is a must makes everything much snappier and will make the user experience much better.

Just do it for him then leave it so he doesn't have to worry about it.

You misunderstand.  He will not let me put an SSD in his build

Why? It's more reliable than a HHD (no moving parts) and much faster.

May experience CPU bottlenecks with that GPU and CPU.

Ok, if you of the user aren't comfortable with overclocking, then the i3 6100 will work fine. The pentium is significantly cheaper, with cheaper boards and cheaper ram that performs on par with the 6100 when overclocked.

I tried to explain it to him.  He just has no idea what he's doing and I can't sway him

Or I could get a newer cpu with a modern socket for future upgradability.

Dual cores just aren't good for gaming anymore.
