So mini-PCs aren't good when playing the latest games on high or ultra graphics?
Not at all. Though $1000 bucks can still get you a decent enough graphics card if you're saavy enough.
I recommend always to build your own pc, that way you may be able to pick a smaller pc case if you want and also pick your own parts.
You also can avoid paying the windows tax that way which could help stretch ur budget.
I recommend grabbing a AMD graphics card if you are considering GNU/Linux gaming or a solid Nvidia card if that is not the case (windows can use all of its proprietary features).
You can upgrade desktop PCs, right? Beyond just the RAM and memory?
I actually recommend against buying new parts for a PC, as there are many very good used PC's for sale for very cheap. It's also more environmentally responsible to use some rich dickhead's "old" computer than to buy new. Last gen cards are still extremely capable.
The only caveats I would add would be that you might consider a partial PC that has good parts and then complete it (ie buying your own storage, NVMe drives are amazing) and that you should never use the Windows installation that is on there, because people will put malware like cryptominers on them. Do a fresh installation of Windows or Linux every time, completely wiping the drive, so that there is no chance of them stealing your Robux.
Sounds good.
