Only 2 things to really watch out for... Static with memory and hard drives and the gel on the processor... You want to make sure you get a good covering without overflow onto the motherboard.

I'm sure there are videos on YouTube that can walk you through it.... Once you do it, you will never buy a pre-made system again. ;)
This is for a mom user with medical issues 10,000 miles from where I live in another country.. So she'll be getting premade with a support package for anyone else yeah I agree build your own.

Budget is 1k but trying to get a i5, 8gb ram, 1tb ssd lowend new graphics card (GTX 1660 or the likes) and i5 processor

BestBuy.ca she says she can get too locally "Owatta" and they have some good deals but all their sub $1500 systems come with 256 gb ssd

refurbished all have 1tb ssd's I dunno why they don't put them in the new ones..
