I actually have the same igpu as is in 8700G in my laptop (ryzen 7840U), probably somewhat nerfed as it’s a mobile cpu. To be honest I did not expect that I will be playing Diablo 4 on it.
But sure, you can squeeze in a GPU if you cheap out on some other stuff or buy used parts. Like the laptop I mentioned above - used HP Elitebook for about €750. Hands down the cheapest a the best laptop I ever bought. And "unfortunately " far more gaming capable than I thought.
I don‘t think people who can‘t cough up 1000 bucks for a console will cough them up for a PC. They just don‘t have that kinda money to spend on videogames. It‘ll lead to people stickin with what they have and those who don‘t have anything (especially kids) will play games on their phones or doomscroll all day. So the ehole next gen might be crossgen and/or even tank the industry in general. That‘s my prediction.
Pc parts aren’t cheap either…
However your options are much better when you’re building a PC with a $1000 budget.
Half of that will go towards RAM
1000 for a PC? Are you mad? With the prices going up it would be miracle to pay 1000, if you find ram or cheap HDD/SSD.
Hmm let’s see…
Mobo - some B650 - 100 EUR CPU - Ryzen 8700G - 250 EUR RAM - 16G - 200 EUR PSU + Case + Mouse + Keyboard - 150 EUR SSD 1 Tb 150 EUR
Total 850 EUR and you are left with 150-200 for games or hdd or rainbow cables if you are into that stuff.
Needless to say SSD and RAM prices suck.
Note: $1000 + 20% VAT is roughly 1050 EUR
Aren’t you forgetting a GPU there?
Nope, you roll with iGPU.

Good try, but as the other user said, you forgot the GPU.
