I am doing a build for someone, and he really likes the Orange/Black NZXT h440. Is there a MoBo, RAM, VGA Combo that is not too expensive? He is on a budget of around $600 for all three.

I got him Intel Core since Intel can outrun AMD CPU's like nothing.

I got you a G3258 and you can OC it to get the performance you need! I also got him a Z97 board to OC with.

Got you a R9 270X to get performance and then he can upgrade to a 290x Later down the line.

The case he wanted is expensive so it made it hard for me to get better parts ;-;...

I also went Overkill on the PSU incase he wants to CrossFire down the line, and for the future graphics cards that might take more power.
