I'm looking to build a gaming PC with a budget of €1000 and I want to include a 144Hz monitor. I'm not very knowledgeable about computer components, so I'm hoping for some guidance. I'd like to be able to play games like CS2, Ark Survival, and Farming Simulator. Is it feasible to get something that will perform well and stay relevant for a few years?

I checked out some parts based on German prices, and here's a rough idea of what you might aim for. With a €1000 budget, it's tricky to include both a decent gaming rig and a 144Hz monitor, especially if you're looking at the latest AM5 setups. You might want to consider looking for good deals on local marketplaces. If you're willing to downgrade your GPU to something like the 9060XT, keep in mind that it won't be as strong for 1440p gaming—it's about 20% slower than the 7800XT. Going for AM4 might also allow you to snag some used parts, which could fit better within your budget. As for the monitor, look for a solid 1440p IPS at 165/180Hz from brands like Gigabyte, MSI, LG, or Asus, depending on whatever’s on sale.
Just a heads up, make sure any SSD you consider has DRAM for better performance!
Could you share what country you're shopping in? Prices for parts can really vary by region, and that could help narrow down your options!
Thanks for the suggestions!
