I got royally screwed by rolling the dice on a CyberpowerPC prebuilt. It would restart or crash playing PUBG or Fortnite, and steam installs would freeze and say the files were corrupted. I did my best to troubleshoot; but long story short I just sent it back for a refund.
I thought, before I run to Best Buy and just get a name brand PC that works, and at the very least be able to drive to the place of purchase if I have issues, maybe I can try to build one.
Something that would play PUBG, Fortnite, Call of Duty, all the normal flashy games that kids like to play. And hopefully last a couple years. And If I can, stay under 1000 bucks when it's all said and done.
Here's a pcpartpicker link I was tinkering with. Any advice, or alternate suggestions on a build that might be up to my specs is appreciated.

Things I'm less knowledgeable about are motherboards, and tower cases, I feel like I'm just randomly picking whatever is at the top of the list and has 5 stars. And I noticed the only RAM that's compatible is 3600 MHz, I assume its because of the CPU and motherboard I chose? And if I'll need to get my own thermal paste for the cpu and cooler.
If I'm successful, I'd probably end up building one for myself. But for now, my old ass Lenovo Legion laptop plays my games just fine.
Thanks
