Looking for help on building a Gaming PC for $1000

Hey guys thanks for taking the time to help us out, my friend is looking at building his first gaming pc and his budget is $1000. He doesn't plan on overclocking and plans on using the PC for Gaming and College, so he wanted to find out what would be the best build for the money. If you guys could throw out some recommendations that would be greatly appreciated!

This is an awkward time to build a pc, with the new generation gpu's around the corner.
Your options are this - Wait for new gpu's or get a medium-end card for now and upgrade to pascal later.
Will he need a monitor?

it always depends on what sort of gaming he does.. is he playing brand new games on ultra ? does he not like new games coz theyre shit? does he care about 144hz or is he ok with 60 hz ?

No he will not need a monitor.

He said hes fine with 60hz and he feels content over graphics.

I managed to build a system with
-GTX 980 GPU
-i7 6-core processor
-2x 16GB RAM
-Sli capable motherboard
-600w power supply
-liquid cooler
for around $1600
So maybe get an Nvidia 750 Ti, and get a fan cooled processor, that shoould be about $1000 there, hope it helps and good luck!
