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.
