Question Help Deciding

I want to get a PC that is under 1000$ but that can run GTA V, COD and Fornite smoothly, this would be my first PC.

Desktop or laptop?

Well originally I was planning to buy a pre-built desktop, but seeing all those prices and not being able to decide which components I want may make me edge towards build, also I need suggestions for a display that is cheap but that still gets good fps.

The best bang for buck on a display is going to be the cheapest 4k monitor you can find online at best buy or at walmart.

ones at walmart are rather pricey if you want something that has enough screen to look at.

walmart sells a prebuilt gaming system buy ibuypower. it sells for 800$ here in michigan. Issue is, it has a 1650 gpu.the gpu is selling online right now for 400-550$ depending on retailer and time of day and time of moon cycle.

Most CPUs have been given a 100-180$ markup no matter what they are. However, AMD is even more desireable even after the price gouging as Intel already cost several hundred more before the scalpers came out to play.
