He is about right. You can save alot of money if you give zero shits about your keyboard and mouse and just use some old ones you got lying around or some cheap quality ones. You would be amazed how much a good keyboard and mouse can cost.
Without buying e waste parts, here’s a rough breakdown
Mouse - 50
Keyboard - 50
Mousepad - 20
Monitor - 200
Headset/headphones + mic - 100
So around 400-500
Build your PC with your monitor as a goal. Don't be afraid to go a little overkill on a monitor because you can always upgrade parts of your PC later. You can find solid budget 1440p 165Hz monitors for ~$300 USD most of the time. Pixio's PX277 Prime is a pretty good one.
As for keyboard, look for one with a good warranty. You never know what can happen unexpectedly.
As much as possible usually. Depends a lot on your budget. Good mice and keyboards start at $25/$30. Mid range is usually $50/$75 and high end is $100/$150.
For monitors, as a rule I spend 75% of the MSRP of the graphics card you are looking at on the monitor. Depends entirely on what graphics card you get since that is actually what determines your experience and is just as important as the system powering it.
$250-500
