I'm considering building a PC for around $800 and I'm looking for suggestions on optimal components. I've heard it's common in Russia to build your own, but I really don't know what parts work best for this kind of budget. I'd love to hear different opinions and ideas from anyone who has experience with this.

You can definitely get a solid 1080p gaming PC for $800, especially if you're open to using some second-hand parts. This can really stretch your budget further than just buying new components.
Check out this build; it should come in under $800. It'll give you a great balance of performance and cost. Just make sure to search for the best deals on parts!
The main challenge with your budget is the price of SSDs and RAM. While CPUs and GPUs are still somewhat affordable, if you find decent deals on the SSD and RAM, you can create a decent build without too much hassle. Otherwise, you might have to compromise on performance.

Thanks! I'll definitely take a look at that build. Looking to stay within budget without sacrificing too much quality.
