Depends on the game but I got mine on a black friday sale (4 years ago) for $500 and I had no problems with Battlefield V, Death Stranding, Deathloop, Mount & Blade Bannerlord etc. Even without a discount $1000 is a nice budget for a decent PC (Not including the monitor since mini PCs also don’t come with a monitor). If you catch discounts you can even build a great one.
