In the heart of this $800 gaming pc lies the Ryzen 5 7500F, the best budget gaming cpu on the market.

The Ryzen 5 7500F can handle up to a RTX 4070Ti Super/7900 XT without bottlenecking and if you can't purchase a Ryzen 5 7500F in your region, then a Ryzen 5 7600 will do.
Next for the motherboard for this $800 gaming pc, an affordable yet reliable B650M motherboard is all you'd need. Supporting PCIe 5.0 on the M.2 slot and PCIe 4.0 on the pci express slot for the graphics card, the chosen B650M motherboard for this PC will be enough for the Ryzen 5 7500F and future AM5 CPU upgrades.
For the memory, 32gb of DDR5 memory is standard for a mid-range $800 gaming pc like this. More importantly, the chosen ram has a speed of 6000mhz/6400mhz with a CAS latency of either 30 or 32, which is at the upper limit of the chosen B650 motherboard and Ryzen 5 7500F for this $800 gaming pc build.
A 1TB PCI gen 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD as well will satisfy the storage needs for this pc, although if you need more, then feel free to use any of the recommended 2TB M.2 SSDs from other build guides for this $800 gaming pc build.

Since this a modest $800 gaming pc, you don't need a big power supply to power this pc build, so a standard yet reliable 650W 80+ bronze power supply is all you'd need.
For the pc case, an affordable micro atx pc case is what you'll need like the one chosen for this $800 gaming pc build, although it's important to still have a case choice that isn't too cheap so this $800 gaming pc looks and feels at least somewhat premium.
