I think you can get a pretty decent Arma3 rig with that money. I spent about 1,3k ⬠on my PC a year ago and most likely you could get the same, or even better stuff for that money today. Something that should run at high settings at least.
I'm not absolutely sure if these benchmarks can be straight compared to PC gaming power, but this site has a pretty good amount of benchmarks of different CPUs and GFX cards (You can find them in the other tabs on the top of the page). All the categories also have option to search for "best bang for the buck". Here are the GFX cards in best value for money: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_value.html
Also, I believe that at the moment the best value for high end cards are in the AMD R9 series.
On the other hand, I've always had a Nvidia and will most likely buy the next one from them also.
Edit: Okay, so the whole budget is 1160 USD? I didn't read the past comments properly! But that should get a really good PC for ARMA3.
