I need help with a $800 PC setup

[cuz.yeah]

I want to make a $800 PC setup but I just can't find the right components. I need help finding them. Also I need a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and headphones. I know it's kind of weird but I'm a beginner and I've always loved consoles but nowadays they're bad so I need help with this PC so I can game better

[Comedy2Gamer_official]

$800 isn't going to get you much nowadays what exactly are you looking for?

[cuz.yeah]

Like a $600 to $700 PC and rest of the money will be for like headphones and that stuff. It's just really hard for me because I really don't know this. I'm having my nephew help me but he doesn't really know that much

Something like this part picker list and a decent used GPU is probably good to aim for, something like an RTX 3060, RX 5700 XT or similar card. If you want to save more money you could go for a used PC like the one below, look on ebay or facebook marketplace or whatever marketplace is popular in your area. Avoid things that are vague on specs and look for newer generation CPUs (Ryzen 3000 series and Intel 11th-12th gen and higher) and also newer GPUs (RTX 20 series and up, AMD 5000 series and up). Something like this is pretty solid even if it doesn't look aestheatically the best.

Also if you don't care about Nvidia features, then you can get a 6700XT which is faster than the 4060, but uses more power:

You might want to save up a little bit more in order to get a monitor and peripherals.

thanks for all the help, I've edited the build accordingly and managed to squeeze out a dual monitor mount and a 32in 4k monitor
