Buying new i would suggest at least decent set of gears (Front an back), breaks an cranck (pedals) from one brand.
One of the best qualities for years of cycle fun are Shimano 105, Ultegra an Dura Ace. Between the 3 from a quality point of view there are no big difference besides weight.
So a 105 set will do fine an is sold brand new including frame ready to go for a round 1000,- euro or less. A Ultegra around a 1100,- an more. In special deals a 105 could go for around 700,- euro mostly older models but brand new.
You have than an light aluminum frame. The difference between a modern alu frame an carbon is not that big/inaudible for novice/average cyclists.
But a carbon frame is at least twice as expensive an could break easily if you have a minor accident. So if you don't want to take part of the Touré de France or other pro competitions a alu frame is fine.
