Hey everyone! I'm currently using a computer with an i7 6700, GTX 970, and 16GB DDR4 RAM. I'm thinking about upgrading, and I'm looking for recommendations on what kind of PC I can get for around $800. Any suggestions?

If you're in the US, check out this build on PCPartPicker: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GZBYnp](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GZBYnp) — it's a solid option for that price.
Consider going for a new AM4 system! You could reuse your RAM and get something like a Ryzen 5 3600 or 5600 paired with a GTX 3080. It would also be a great idea to upgrade to 32GB of DDR4 later on for a more powerful setup.
For a prebuilt option, some brands offer great value. Just avoid OEMs like HP or Dell since they often use less optimal, sometimes proprietary parts. If you're up for it, building your own is the way to go. Here's an AM5 build around the $800 mark: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DJxjt3](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DJxjt3). Depending on your location, spending an extra $100 could get you a Ryzen 5 7600(x) and a 16GB version of the 9060 XT. Plus, you might be able to reuse your old power supply! If you consider selling your current parts, it could give you some extra budget for the build.
