First cracking build - bull - 07-25-2018
So I'm trying to get into hash cracking as a hobby and am looking for a budget build for my first one.
I know that cracking builds are damn expensive generally so I'm looking for something that's under $1,000 to build.

Depending on your budget simply get the best nvidia consumer GPU you can afford. With only one GPU and no 24/7 usage there is not much you need to worry about.

Yeah, I won't use it all the time. Just every now and then for fun.
Any build tutorials you can suggest?

"Any build tutorials you can suggest?"
Depends on how many cards you want to install.. but for $1000 I guess you'll get only one or two, so this is a very standard build, just plug the cards into the MB, install an OS, and run hashcat.
Pay attention to the RAM: as least as much as your graphic(s) card(s), and use of SSD is a must
