Don't buy pre-builts. You'll get ripped off. If you don't want to assemble the PC yourself, spec out the complete system right down to case fans and thermal paste, then have a local PC shop assemble it for you. Or hire some IT student to do the job, though that would put the risk of something going wrong on you.
Well, think I saw some paired with the most expensive gaming GPU's...but I really only want a 1060 ti at most...
The 1060 Ti isn't really available as new part, and even if, nobody would build that card into such a prebuilt. However, if all you want to do is chess, you don't need any GPU at all because Ryzen 7000 have a small iGPU that is enough to display a desktop.

I know you were trying to be helpful with that...but no, I made that clear - it needs to be prebuilt for me and there are companies that assemble/ship to you. I just don't see any doing it yet for the new Ryzen ships.
I want 'some GPU'...just not 'top of the line'.

there are pre-built systems like form HP/Dell/Lenovo, they might be cheaper but tend to use non-standard parts, and there are custom-built systems with standard PC parts assembled by your PC shop near by or online.
As Ras said, the AMD Ryzen Zen 4 has a iGPU on chip die, 128 shader cores@2.2 GHz, 563 GFLOPS, this is enough for 2K/4K 2D, older 3D games, and maybe to play a game with Lc0 now and then.
