But I assume you're referring to minimum wage workers who have no kids/other responsibilities, no rent expenses, no bills, no food requirements, no savings to set aside for rainy days, no retirement investments, no college savings to pay into or debt to pay off, no income tax withheld, etc., etc., etc. (Essentially a 14yo working at Chick-fil-A while living with their middle-class parents.) Yeah, if they didn't have all that and more to consider, then you're right—even they could make up the difference in less than a month.

Don't forget to check for a $25 off new customer coupon and if you haven't opened a credit line in a while their card gives you 5% back always and an initial bonus of like $50 off. My screen did cost $1600 but it was a Samsung OLED I alreash blught for my living room TV.
Add in some extra fans and after discounts I probably spent $500 on the computer and $820 on the XTX. I had 12+ months left on a zero apr intro rate Wells Fargo card so I paid that off $75 buck a month.
If Microcenter isn't an option it's probably better to find a renewed gaming PC deal like some recently posted on here and then just upgrading the GPU. Even if your diligent about checking Newegg and Amazon for deals your probably not gonna save any money building your own without the MC cpu/mobo deals. Mobos are expensive relative to the rest of the computer compared to when I built computers in the 00s.
Unless you're buying a 4090 or at least an XTX the GPU Is going to be almost your entire bottleneck for gaming. So go mid range on the CPU and spend the difference on a better GPU.
You also might want to wait and see more info about the next gen of cards. The 7900xt might still be a great deal in 6 months or you might have gotten close to 4090 performance for a few bucks more. If you go the renewed route might be best to sling the 3080 or whatever it is as soon as you get it on eBay bc once the new generation comes out 2 gen old cards tend to drop significantly in value fast.

Bought Nvidia for the DLSS and stayed for the AI compatability.

either way the 7900XT even without the games this would be a solid price point
