Greetings.
Assuming you already have the power supply and don't wish to increase the wattage of your power supply, you can go for any of the video cards here: https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?Ntk=all&sortby=match&N=4294966937+769&myStore=true
Probably would go for a RTX 3050 as that would put you just barely over your $1000 budget.
I think you have 3 options at this price range:
GTX 1660 Super(Similar performance to RTX 3050)-$320
RTX 3050(GTX 1660 Super+Ray Tracing+DLSS)-$380
RX 6600 XT(significantly better performance than the RTX 3050, no DLSS)-$420
Any of these graphics cards would work, and I think that these options are all good in their own ways as I listed in parentheses. Hope this helps you!
