New Budget Gaming Rig

[chasier]

I'm new to building a pc. My budget is around 1k for a gaming pc. Can anyone advise me on suitable specs or any links to check out?
Would prefer an upgradable rig as I'll like to do future tweaks.

Not including monitor and OS.

sorry for OT.

Why so many people recommend Sharkoon? I long time didn't come hardware clinic, is it a new brand? How is it?

Cheap or value for money.

Is not exactly new. Its a german brand. And they are quite reputable over there.

You get what you paid for ba.

The quality is an average build. Not very solid, and the metal used are quite soft. Not much room for wire management.

The only thing good about sharkoon chassis is that it is value for money. 3 fans included, removable 3.5inch HDD cage, and a SSD slot at the wire management area. Which i find it quite useful.
