But GPUs become outdated sooner than any other component- mobo is the component that will limit upgrades more than any other.Put almost half the budget into graphics card. Processors and motherboards, and everything else are cheaper to upgrade later.

If you skip the mechanical drive, buy a single 8 gig stick (42.99) (for upgrade later with an additional) and go with a z170 board from gigabyte that isn't as feature rich from newegg (94.99) and then add a gigabyte or zotac gtx 1070 for 379.99 you come out at 906 and change.
As an alternative, you get more gpu power in the short term, and some upgrades you can make as and when you need them, 8 gigs in the short term and no mass storage but both will put this into the 1000 dollar range if included.
The superb MSI GTX 1060 6GB is available from Newegg for $240 after a $15 MIR.
Corsair CX 430 available for $16 after a $20 MIR

Depends on one thing really: Does he want to overclock?
That is the biggest variable in the whole build to be honest... that single question. If he doesn't plan to OC, you can opt for cheaper motherboard, cheaper RAM and there is no point buying anything above an i5-6500 at the moment if you ask me, since 95% of new AAA titles are GPU limited.
One can cram a lot of stuff into that 900USDish budget if you know what you are aiming for. You can go 6600K+ Z170 + 16GB RAM + GTX1070, if you ditch the SSD and go for a cheaper case.
You can also go H110 cheapobo mobo route if you don't plan on getting another pair of RAM in the future or M.2 SSDs.
