I'm planning on building a pc with a budget of $1000 usd. I don't have a monitor so that should be included. Any suggestions?

For purely gaming?

Use the remaining for your monitor, I suggest posting in the display sub-forum section of the forums since I dont have extensive knowledge about monitors.

For the monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168242363071ms response time, if you need it

Unless you want the IPS display with 5 ms, as @stconquest said, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824025099&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

Doesn't really make that much of a difference with ms now that I think about it xD

Not really. It seems good to me.

 

It is fully functional.  You are missing out on SLI.  The PSU is "average", or "acceptable", but nowhere near high quality.  The SSD is fast, but the controller is older tech (still okay though).

 

Those are my main concerns.

Example:

 

Moving down to a locked CPU allows improvements.  Most games are not CPU intensive, and the speed of the 4460 can still be manipulated even though it has a locked multiplier.

 

Downgraded CPU to the i5 4460... added an SLI compatible motherboard... upgraded the SSD to one with a better controller... upgraded the power supply to a high quality unit (fully modular too):

 

$997

Just a side note:
LG 23MP57HQ-P this monitor's brigtness isnt so good. As long as you are not sitting near a window its ok. 
If not i would recommend this : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-i2369v

Also, if you are not using a 5.1 speaker setup, you can also get a cheaper mobo. possibly mATX with a smaller case.

He could drop the SSD, grab a 1TB HDD and a better monitor.
