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.
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.
