Yea, but with the budget the second wouldn't hurt.
There is and I have one. The res is 2148x1152. Not too much more demanding than 1080p.

Eh, I wouldn't say "looks better", but pixel density is higher and requires less AA for clarity. Hard to explain really.
The 2 popular resolutions after 1080p are 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 which both are on the expensive side. My 23" Samsung's res wasn't very popular and I was lucky enough to grab one before they went EOL.

Take your pick. Any high quality Samsung, Asus, or BenQ will do the trick.
Thanks 
In your build a cooler is needed as he'll be oc'ing, recommend the best possible cooler please? Without going over 2400$.
Also, will it be much of a gain going for 2x GTX 680 FTW+ 4 GB? I know it'll be over the budget but yea we may be able to get a work around.
You can drop the OS as he has one.

No. The 4GB cards are wasted on a single 1080p display.
If you're dropping the OS then just get the H100i and call it a day.

If you're going to OC then might as well. Good coolers are almost as expensive and are super heavy. All that weight goes right around your CPU socket. An H100i with good fans will out do any big cooler.
The AIO units are meant for ease of use. It's as simple as mounting 2 pieces.
