Solid enough build..... assuming it's fit for purpose without the GPU?

I wouldn't pair the 7600K with a B250 board though - and you'll need a CPU cooler.

If he has no desire to OC, then I'd look to a locked i7 + B250 board.
With some modifications, you still stay around budget

OR, pair the unlocked i5 with an appropriate Z270 board + cooler.

If you are going the quad core route you might want to look at an i3-8350k (same 4 cores and 4 threads as a 7600k), and a cheap Z370 board. You will need a CPU cooler though unless he already has one.

Another option for you to consider. I went with an i5 8400. It won't overclock, but it will turbo boost up to at least 3.8-4.0 depending on core and temp. You get 6c/6t with the new i5's.
