You'd be able to build most of a system, you just aren't going to find any reasonably priced GPU's in stock anywhere right now, so you could potentially build a system to use for basic tasks and then start playing games once you add a GPU.

I can understand if you just want to get something asap though, and in that case, $800 is probably the minimum you'd be able to spend on a pre-built without getting something that's total dog shit. $1200-1500 should get you something fairly reasonable but most pre-builts sacrifice quality to keep profits high, so even $1200-1500 pre-builts might have a shitty case, PSU, motherboard, and a lack of storage, so just keep that in mind.

I can't recommend any specific pre-builts because I just don't look at any, sorry. I would probably look at sites that offer some sort of customisability though, so you can at least know you're getting a decent quality PSU and what not. I don't know if Cyberpower are necessarily any good, but I know that you can at least choose what PSU goes in your system.

Just for reference, $1200 would ideally get you a decent system with an R5 5600X + an RTX 3060Ti.
So, I'd expect a pre-built with those sort of specs to be around $1500. Something with an R5 3600 or i5-10th gen and/or 12GB RTX 3060(instead of 3060Ti) should be in the $1200-1500 range.
