My current PC that I bought in 2012:
CPU: i7 3770K @3,5GHz; 1155 LGA; Stock cooler
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G43
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 G1 8GB (replaced in 2017)
SSD: GOODRAM 240GB SATA
HDD: 1TB, 1TB, 2TB various manufacturers, speed and age; no Raid
PSU: Cooler Master B600 V2 600W (replaced in 2016)
Speakers: Analog 5.1
Optical drives: 2x SATA DVD-RW (old but working fine)
---
Approximate Purchase Date: next week - next month
Budget Range: 4000PLN ~= 1000 USD/EUR (including tax; expecting free shipping)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies, programming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Probably everything
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (Win 10)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: something local (https://www.morele.net, https://www.komputronik.pl/, https://www.x-kom.pl/, https://vobis.pl/, unfortunately all in PL)
Location: Poland
Parts Preferences:
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 3440x1440 @75Hz (I'm fine with 2560x1080 @ 60Hz)
Additional Comments: I don't care for RGB; I want the CPU and GPU to more powerful than my current machine, but I also want the machine to be quiet; I don't need a new mouse or keyboard, but I might need a new case (current one is meh, and does nothing for noise)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current machine is getting old; the MOBO is damaged (at least one RAM slot doesn't work and some USB ports); Performance is starting to be not enough (resource hungry indie games, some AAA games, emulators); GPU is very laud under load (before BIOS update was overheating); Some of the storage drives are old and might start failing

Due to approaching Black Friday, prices and availability may vary, but general advice on building a powerful and quite desktop that can be bought for around 1000USD is more than welcome.
