Looking to build a budget pc for under $1000 with 144hz monitor

Is your 144Hz monitor included in the budget? Straight off the bat, that eats a big chunk of your budget, as the cheapest I could find was $189.
With a S340 Elite case, that is another $80. I tried my best to fit it in, but I went over by $48 while following an Intel line. There is no SSD.

If you go with the Ryzen line, you lose some FPS in PUBG and stuff, but you come $11 under budget AND get an SSD:

There are no OS in both of these builds.

Is it possible to increase the budget slightly to give more breathing room? Or attempt to exclude the 144Hz monitor out of the budget?
