Wow, that is a big system for atomistic simulations. Some of the largest
atomistic simulations of DNA to date have been simulations up to ~200 base
pairs (for example DNA minicircles) unless using coarse-grained
simulations and/or implicit solvent. It is highly unlikely you can even
reproduce the "correct" duplex structure nor determine if you have sampled
the correct duplex structure since this is beyond what can be determined
at high resolution from experiment.

I would suggest a deep dive into the literature first and to actually go
through and understand the basic tutorials with simpler systems. Usually
it takes beginners a few months to just understand the basics of AMBER
from the tutorials, and even longer to understand the underlying methods.
Jumping into 700 base pairs is not recommended.

If you do the basic DNA tutorial, you will see that it only worries about
.mol2 files for non-standard residues (not molecules) where force field
parameters are not available. For standard protein/nucleic, leap reads
PDBs to create prmtops; again, if standard residues, you should not be
worrying about .lib files.

TI is advanced. I would not attempt even trying it until you really
understand the basics of MD. MM-PBSA could be done as post process on
regular MD, however I would only consider it on a smaller DNA duplex.
