can someone tell me the best break down to buy of a 1000pc set? i want 25-100-500-1000-5000 chips but not sure the best quantity of each chip to get
 
Sounds like a tourney set then. How many people/tables do you need to cover, what's the starting stack you normally go with? Will give a better idea on how to answer.
 
Welcome to the forums, we created a post just for you and this question: New Members Start Here

To help us better answer your questions, as @Easylife started, we need more info. To start off with, you ought not draw a hard line in the sand on chip count, about 1000 chips is good to shoot for but depending on how many players you want to host, and how deep of stacks or length of tourney you're looking to host will all account for the chip count.

If you're looking to do both cash and tourney you should consider 2 sets, and likely have a similar chip count.

Tell us more of your ideal game you need chips for. How long would you want it to go, are you wanting to do deep stacks? Did you want to start the tourney with 5 or a 25 or 100 or even 500?
 
If this is for tourneys, you don’t need anywhere near 1000 chips, unless you want to run 20-30 players.

This would be a good setup for up to 30 players (ideal for up to 20), and can handle plenty of rebuys or deep stacks:

25 x 250
100 x 250
500 x 125
1000 x 250
5000 x 125

1 table 8-10 people. 1 re-buy and usually start with around 130BB’s

Okay im always worried about running out. What would u suggest for 1 table 8-10 people. 1 re-buy and usually start with around 130BB’s
 
Do you want a typical T25 break down, or did you want to get snazzy with the denoms, say start at T500?

400 chips will do it

25 - 120
100 - 120
500 - 60
1k - 100-120
5k - 20-40

400 chips will get it done for you easily, and you can expand your $/chip range.

OP, you'll probably have to buy in x25 quantities, so you'll end up with 5 extra T25/T100 (and potentially T1K if you aim for x120), 15 extra T500, and possibly some extra 5Ks if you go with @Eriks' suggested breakdown, so you'd have those for backups, or allow you to open up 2nd rebuys since not everyone will rebuy twice, or even once.
 
Think everything I would have said has been said or linked to already. Only thing I would add is 1000 chips you mentioned at the start, I know people have mentioned you can put together a 400 chip set that would easily cover your needs, my advice would be no, go 2000. Why? 1. Because it's more chips 2. What you gonna do if you send out an open invite for a home game and 60 people turn up? (Buy more tables as well just incase this ever happens, you don't want to be caught short)
 
as others have mentioned, always plan for a bigger game, more people , bigger stakes, If you plan for one table, have a plan for a second table, but if you are certain about one table only, then I like the idea of getting two sets, tourney and cash.
