Assuming it's USD and you have a 1080p monitor?

If it is 1080p 60Hz, I'd recommend aiming for a monitor upgrade, sooner rather than later. You could manage to get a decent system with a 1080p144Hz monitor for around $1000;
PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard ($114.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Team - Vulcan 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($62.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Intel - 660p Series 512 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Zotac - GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING Video Card ($329.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Cooler Master - MasterBox NR600 (w/o ODD) ATX Mid Tower Case ($58.50 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($40.50 @ Newegg)
Monitor: MSI - Optix MAG240VC 23.6" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor ($169.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $1036.94


Although, I think I'd probably be aiming for 1440p144Hz or 4k60Hz instead, which will set you back $300. So you might be better off just spending $1000 or so on a system now and upgrading monitor soon, if possible.

These are the monitors I'd be considering;
Viotek GN27D
Pixio PX329

LG 27UD58-B 4K


$1000 system;

Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg Business)
Total: $1010.23

Dropping the 1080p144Hz monitor lets you get a better, fully modular PSU, an HDD for mass storage, and a nice aftermarket cooler.

If it's a 1080p144Hz monitor that you have, or you can manage to upgrade to 1440p144Hz/4k60Hz in the foreseeable future, then go with the $1000 system I recommended.

If you won't be able to afford a new monitor and you currently have a 60Hz monitor, I'd probably just go for the first system with the 1080p144Hz monitor included. You'll still get the same performance, just a lower quality PSU and you'll need to add the HDD/cooler later if you want/need them.
