My brother is going to build his first pc and he asked a tech-savvy friend for help. He is mainly interested in gaming on it and 1080p with 60+fps is good enough for him. He's willing to spend 1000$. He already has a monitor, headset, mouse & keyboard.

Looks fine to me but I'm curious what you guys have to say and if you would change anything & why.
PS: It will cost 20% more than what pcp says because of tax.
Thanks
