Basically to be very straightforward my little cousin is about to buy a gaming pc pre-built for $1000 because he has no idea what parts to pick. I know from reading here that he can get alot more for less by building it himself. Anyone have any suggestions for an $800 gaming rig. He mostly plays fps games. I believe he has all peripherals but he will need a copy of windows so I am thinking he is limited to $800-900.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

So it needs to be $1000 including a Windows license but excluding peripherals, then? Or are you trying to save him some money?
I was mistaken he has everything except the os. So it would be $1000 including a windows license.
Isn't that what you said in your original post, though?
Let me make sure I have this straight. In the $1000, your cousin needs a Windows license, a case, and everything that goes inside the case (CPU, video card, memory, hard drive, etc.). But he already has all of the hardware that does not go inside the case: monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, surge protector. Do I have that straight?
yes
EDIT** and yeah I did say that in my original post woops. Guess that is what I get for trying to do two things at once..

That comes to $1009 including shipping and before $23 in rebates. He might want to upgrade the video card in a few years, but the rest of the system should last a very long time or until a part dies, whichever comes first.
thank you very much! I really appreciate it
