Nice start, . For a first build around 1,000 EUR, tune the parts to your monitor and games. If you are aiming at 1080p/144 Hz or stepping up to 1440p, lean harder on the GPU; competitive esports benefit from strong single‑thread CPU performance while big AAA titles are usually GPU‑bound. The community lists referenced are a solid baseline; the tweaks below help avoid common bottlenecks.

As a rough split for a gaming‑first build: GPU ~45–50% of budget, CPU ~20%, motherboard ~10%, RAM ~10%, storage ~8–10%, PSU ~5–7%, case/cooling ~5–7%. For smooth play today and headroom tomorrow, target a modern 6‑core (or better) CPU, 16 GB RAM as 2x8 GB (easier on the memory controller than 4 sticks), and at least a 500 GB SSD for OS plus a few favorite games. A good 550–650 W, 80 Plus Gold PSU with a long warranty is plenty for a single‑GPU setup. Choose a case with straightforward airflow; two front intakes and one rear exhaust works well. Before you buy, check the motherboard CPU support list and memory QVL so you do not get tripped up by BIOS compatibility.

Quick checks once you build:

  • Enable XMP/DOCP for the RAM.
  • Install chipset and GPU drivers before game launchers.
  • Run a short stress test and watch temps; reseat the cooler if they spike.
  • Reserve a bit for Windows, extra fans, or a better mouse if needed.

If you post your monitor model, target games, and FPS goal, folks here can suggest precise part swaps without busting the budget.
