I was able to cobble together this system with the bundle pricing on the CPU, RAM, and Board for $1039, Even doing to a 3000 series video card won't save much there. This is also with a copy of Windows for $119.99

Please be careful; that NZXT 120T cooler is entry level for 120 -150W and cannot keep up with a 12700's top power draw of 180W.
This is really close to $800 and can play Fortnight very well:
You can find online deals for Windows 11 licenses that will bring this in under $800
