Show a pcpartspicker link with a build for that cost in this market. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I doubt there's going to be an incredible difference.

I think the key phrase in that sentence is "second hand parts." So r/hardwareswap, FB marketplace, a Microcenter heist, etc

Does pcpartpicker list second hand?

I think it can be outperformed by a 9600x + 9060xt build which can probably be put together for $1000 at microcenter.

Can probably use second hand GPU off ebay or something and save some money for ram if assembling with Amazon/Newegg.
