In Australia, we have 11 gaming PC selections from Harvey Norman.

$2179 AUD for a pre-built gaming PC with 13700F CPU and TX 4060.
One of Australia's largest PC seller is pccasegear.com.au

$1999 AUD for Ryzen 7 5700 CPU + GeForce RTX 4070 Windforce OC.
Harvey Norman doesn't understand PC gaming when the bias for limited-budget PC build should be GPU 1st.

From owning a Ryzen 9 7950X and switching from 280 mm AIO to 360 mm AIO coolers, the CPU will auto boost until it reaches the 95C TDP limit for the full 32 threads AVX2/AVX-512. There's very little need for manual overclocking when the CPU is smart enough to sense its cooling capability.
AIO = All-in-One Liquid Coolers.
In terms of case size (e.g. Lian-Li O11D EVO XL) Gaming PC with fat X86-64 CPUs and RTX 4090s have effectively replaced SGI workstations e.g.

PS; RTX 4090 can enable its ECC GDDR6X mode for workstation use cases.
The all-in-one keyboard gaming PC case like A1200 wouldn't fit the RTX 4060 card. Laptop RTX GPUs could fit inside A1200's case. System 54 PowerPC has Radeon GCN drivers. The way forward is Emu68, PRi 5(ARM Cortex A76), single-chip FPGA CD32, Radeon GCN support and System 54 ported to 68K.
