Definitely check out /r/buildapc (https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapc/ https://old.reddit.com/r/buildapc/) if you haven't already. I found it very helpful when I was building my PC. If you dig around a bit you can find posts like this [1] that may already be quite similar to what you want. For dev work, CPU and RAM and an SSD is really all you need, GPU if you plan to do ML or graphics stuff (and a simple GPU will be just fine for many things). A 2 or 3 year old CPU, 16-32 GB RAM, and a 500GB-1TB SSD should fit in a 1k budget just fine and be a good enough machine that you'll never feel held back by your hardware.
