Help with choosing CPU and GPU

I was pretty on top of all parts and how they perform, way back like 2-3 years ago. Naturally the PC industry has been evolved since then...

 

I am now supposed to build a gaming PC at around 500-1000€/$ budget, and really I have no idea to even begin choosing between Intel and AMD, or with AMD or NVIDIA GPU's. The PC will be mostly used to play the basic League of Legends, CS GO, etc etc. but I also hope that with that budget I am able to fix together a workstation that can run basic triple A games such as GTA5 with decent graphics. The monitor that is being used with the upcoming PC is Benq 144Hz display, so it's preferred that the PC will be able to run the games at those FPS's.

 

I have been checking the industry change, so I am not totally in the dark right now - Last things I remember is that i5-7700k was a kickass gaming PC CPU, but then the Ryzen lineup was revealed. Also RX 480 was a damn fine budget GPU but then the GTX1000 lineup was revealed.

 

I think I can figure motherboard, PSU, RAM and storage on my own, but suggestions are welcome of course. Many thanks for any help in advance!
