A processor is only hard to install because of the heat sink you have to put on it.
However, for someone newish to computers I'd probably bump it up to an i5-4960 in that build.
It'll run you another 130 and put you at 670, and then a 30 dollar upgrade to the PSU will leave you with plenty of upgrade headroom while keeping you at the desired 700 mark.
