Update: I stumbled across this looking for deals. It's below the spec I listed but is the cheapest I have seen in a couple of weeks. It could use more RAM and more storage of some sort, but that could be done in the future. Please note that some AMD based machines blue-screen regularly and there is no real fix. There was at least one review mentioning an issue like this. If you buy this, make sure to test it out ASAP in case you need to return it.

I don't really recommend WorstBuy, but I do hope they survive as a retailer just to keep more options available.

Wow thank you. It seems decent enough but its certainly out of my budget. I'll just have to wait for things to calm down. I should have built when I could have.

Microcenter has a really nice HP budget gaming laptop for $699.99 with a newer generation AMD 6 core/12 thread processor, 8 GB memory and 512 GB SSD and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB graphics link. This laptop got a great review from ETA Prime.

Figured I'd give an update. I had a Lenovo x220 laying around that I had installed MacOS on. Runs as well as a 2011 MBP. He's been using that for minecraft. I haven't even tried Fortnite on it but maybe I should. Works great for Minecraft though so he's happy.
