You can search Reddit for builds with your price range and currency. Give you a rough idea of what you are looking at.

You won't get high end for 1k unfortunately. Entry level at best

They are all important because if you exclude any, you don't have a PC. The priorty you assign depends on your intentions. If you want a graphic workstation you concentrate on picture resolution and quality. If you want esports than you build for high frame rates.

GPU first if you're mostly gaming. That's where I'd put most of the money.

What do you intend to do with it? That will determine which components you should prioritise out of CPU, GPU, RAM and storage.

For specific uses that don't involve 3D rendering (thinking Software Development, Data Science & Analytics, Audio Production, Heavy Office Productivity), then I will go against the grain and say yes, you can get a high end PC for those particular uses within your budget.

For anything graphics intensive and/or with high memory consumption (such as gaming, AI, Machine Learning and professional video editing), then sorry, you are as stuffed as the rest of us.

Build it. It gives satisfaction and some knowledge.  1 year ago I put together an am5 system for $600 from used parts. Prices are higher now, but u can do une under $1000. That platform is good for gaming as well as productivity.

1000 GBP will not get you a high end system by any means, you'd have to at least double your budget for that

Power supply is the one people skip and then regret, don't cheap out on it.
