$750 shipped:

CPU/Optical: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1074992
Take advantage of combo savings.

MOBO/RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138358
This MOBO comes with a free 2x4GB RAM kit.

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129230
2GB edition HD7850 for $185, not bad.

Case/PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1080899
This PSU is in a whole higher echelon of quality compared to what has been suggested so far. Superb case too! I've built 2 rigs in these Challengers and was very impressed.

HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147164
256GB is typically PLENTY of space for a gaming rig. I say skip the mechy drive all together unless you need more space for media later on down the road.

~$1000 build with EVERYTHING:

CPU / Optical: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1074986
(like getting an optical drive for $5)

MOBO / RAM / OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1032380
(mobo comes with free 2x4GB RAM kit)

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129230
HD7850

HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339
single platter 1TB. One of the best performing consumer oriented mechy drives you can buy.

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352009
This is a remarkably well thought out little micro-ATX case. Great design features, good air flow, flexible drive mounting options.

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182261
80+ GOLD with superflower internals. You'll pay for it whether you buy it or not.

Monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254091
Pretty standard pick here.

Keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129003
$30 off promo code, mechanical with brown-cherry keys is an excellent choice for everything from gaming to typing.

Mouse: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826501011
Honestly this is just a placeholder for a decent mouse. The exact layout should be chosen by your friend.

That's $1028 shipped. ($1008 after MIRs if you want to waste time with them).

Optional: Drop the keyboard and mouse to a standard logitek $20 combo kit, use the extra to get a GTX660
