CPU: Intel Core i5 Lynnfield Central Processing Unit =$199.99
RAM: G.Skill 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600mhz CL9 =$87.99
MB: ASUS P7P55D EVO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard =$188.99
Storage: Samung Spinpoint F3 =$54.99
GPU: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 =$159.99
Case: Antec Three Hundred ATX Mid-Tower Case =$51.95
PSU: Cooler Master 600Watt ATX Power Supply =$69.99
OS, Keyboard, Mouse: Nice Deal for This =$124.98
Monitor: I'm Sorry but unless your friend wants a 15'' monitor, you are going to have to exceed budget. A 20''monitor will end having to go over a little bit 
But with everything above it totals $940 dollars approximatly. If he is a student he can MS Windows 7 for $29.99
-If you want to save money look into older sockets/chipsets, DX10 Gpu's not DX11, and cheaper ram. But then again the game performance and upgradeability will start to tick-tock downwards the more you shave off from the hardware.
