[SOLVED] $1,000 gaming build recommendations

[rcald2000]

Build budget should not include: monitor / windows OEM license / peripherals / taxes / shipping

Budget: $1,000 USD
Location: US
Parts from: Amazon / NewEgg / Micro Center

This build is for a friend, and I believe the build I've thought up is biased, hence my seeking advice here. Thank you in advance for your help and happy holidays.

Let me know what you think. Also if your friend's got a monitor, peripherals and all that, I'm guessing he's also got storage he can recycle?

A B365 board for an Intel-K processor with a good liquid cooler? Would be a waste not to overclock if going for a unlocked CPU IMO.
