I have a budget of approximately $1000. I might be able to stretch up a $100 or so. I'm looking for a gaming rig that can handle just about any game right now. (Not counting some of the brand new games coming out soon which have CRAZY graphics.) It would be appreciated if a monitor was included in the build. If you need a range in what games, BF4 on ultra if possible.

Just make sure you don't start overclocking without an aftermarket cooler.

I'm a bit inexperienced with this. If I were to choose your monitor build, should I choose to get a cooler? Or will I just not overclock and Ill be fine?

If you're not overclocking you'll be fine with the stock cooler, though an aftermarket air cooler will be more rugged and less noisy. If you want to overclock later you can just buy and install an aftermarket cooler then.
