Best parts for around $1000
Answers

What are your favorite esports titles? Do you need a monitor included in the price or do you already have some kind of screen such as TV (same for any other parts, keyboard, etc)?

@magarity id like to be able to max games like rocket league, halo infinite, just basically most really popular shooter games. I don’t have a monitor rn but I wouldn’t mind paying extra for those, I’m just asking about parts right now, thanks for answering

Take a look at this, it should be the best all around build at the price point. 5600x comes with a stock cooler which can make use of it. 6700xt is more powerful than 3060ti and slightly inferior than 3070. If the price is still too high or you really want to include the monitor, downgrade the motherboard to a cheaper b550/b450(make sure it supports bios usb flashback), or also you can downgrade the graphics card to 3060/6600xt/6650xt(which I don't recommend).

I was reviewing this thread and pretty much wound up on the same build idea as above, looks good for the price. Should be noted this doesn't include Windows however (if needed).

Thank you guys for answering, this will be very helpful!

Regarding Yingdong's list: You can save some $ by getting the 5600 without the X. The 5600 still has regular boost overclocking just not unlocked for unlimited. And with the stock cooler and that motherboard, you aren't going to be doing any high end overclocking.

You're welcome, if you have any other questions please let us know.

@Yingdong. I went through your list and all of the components and it looks great and will be very useful, I know you mentioned something about the processor having stock cooling, and the case you included also came with cooling, so will the cooling that comes with the parts be sufficient, or will I need to add on more?

I didn't pick a cooler, the stock wraith cooler comes with 5600x has thermal paste reapplied and is enough for 5600x with a tweaked precision boost overdrive. You won't loost lots of performance as zen 3 cpus aren't the best for overclocking and neither would gain huge performance boost even by giving it a top tier aio. Give your budget isn't that generous, it's much better to invest your budget it in gpu, 1440p monitor, better psu or even extra pair of ram/ssd.

@Infinity2437 Honestly i think the computer is just a bit too weak, It might be a great computer now but in 2 years its gonna be completely outdated with whats coming out now.

Thank you all for the advice, I am planning on making my build around an intel i5 and rtx 3060ti. I would appreciate it if y’all could recommend some motherboards that are compatible with these. Thank you @Yingdong for your list it was helpful to me when looking at different components. Also if you have any recommendations for gaming monitors around $200 that would be awesome

Any motherboard is compatible with a 3060Ti.
To check compatibility with the i5 just use the 'pc builder' from the microcenter home page and select the cpu. then the motherboard category will only bring up compatible boards.
