I'm in Romania and looking at my first PC build, with a budget of around 1000 euros. I'd like 240 FPS in most games, good performance in Cyberpunk and Elden Ring, and a system that won't need upgrades for a few years. DDR5, 16 GB of graphics memory and a 1 TB drive would be nice if they fit.
Can I build a PC for 1000 euros that handles 240 FPS?

I'd reset the 240 FPS target a bit. It's much more realistic in lighter competitive games than in demanding games like Cyberpunk, especially if you want high settings. Elden Ring normally has a 60 FPS cap on PC, so a faster build alone won't get you to 240 there.
Resolution and settings matter a lot too. Decide whether 240 FPS in competitive games or better visuals in demanding games is the higher priority, then build around that.

A Ryzen 5 7500F or 7600X build is worth pricing out if you want DDR5. Pair it with a compatible AM5 motherboard, a suitable cooler, a 1 TB SSD and a graphics card that fits what remains of the budget. Don't forget the case and power supply when adding everything up.
Check Romanian prices before settling on either CPU. The 7500F has no integrated graphics, which is worth knowing if you ever need to troubleshoot without the graphics card.

I'd compare AMD graphics cards against the GeForce RTX 5060 at local prices, particularly if a 16 GB card fits. More graphics memory can help with demanding games over time, though it doesn't guarantee 240 FPS or make a slower card faster in every game.

That wish list is pretty tight for 1000 euros. If the full build comes in over budget, I'd rather relax the 16 GB graphics memory requirement or save longer than buy a weak power supply just to make the numbers work.

Also compare performance in the games and at the resolution you actually plan to use. VRAM capacity is only one part of the decision.
