I put this together for a friend who wanted a lower-end gaming PC, but it's still pretty much what I'd recommend (though you'd definitely want to double the RAM to 32gb): https://secure.newegg.com/wishlist/pd/35088251
Points to note:
-I'm not sure if your $1000 budget was meant to include a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, so this coming in around $700 leaves you a little room
-I would probably want to upgrade the CPU if budget permits: another $130 will get you an 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X, which will be helpful for running multiple containers
-A GTX 1650 Super is way faster than a regular GTX 1650, the difference that $10-20 makes is surprisingly massive
-NVMe SSDs are great, and the Intel 660p is a nice bargain choice. I'd likely step up to the 1TB version for another $60
