$1000 build for American friend

    Hey guys,

    My American friend in NY is looking to build/buy a decent gaming pc with the main reason being Arma 3.

    He's currently gaming using an old Dell Inspiron 580 with some aftermarket parts:
    GPU: Gtx 760
    RAM: 2 x 8gb corsair vengeance pro 1866hz
    PSU: Thermaltake 850w psu (not sure which model but I can find out if needed)

    Rest is stock I assume & more than likely outdated.

    He was looking at pre-built PCs on Newegg but I'd say he'd be better off building his own with some of the parts he already has. He has a copy of windows so that isn't needed.

    Any help appreciated with build parts from american sites, thanks.

    Edit: He wants to run cpu intensive games such as Arma 3, he was wanting to go i7 but I'm not sure if that offers much more in the way of gaming over an i5.
