I'm looking to build my first gaming PC since the one I'm currently using is just a hand-me-down from my uncle, and it's really underwhelming. I'd prefer to assemble it myself rather than going for a prebuilt option because I'm excited to learn about the process. Unfortunately, RAM prices have shot up just when I need them, so I'm also considering getting a secondhand RAM and GPU. I've put together a list of potential parts but need some feedback on whether they're good enough for a budget gaming PC that performs well. My budget is around 800 euros, and I'm curious which parts I might want to invest a little more in and which ones I can skimp on.

What’s your main use case for this PC? Bigger isn't always better—trust me! I splurged on a top-notch 1500w PSU that burned out on me three months in. I’d suggest getting a PSU that’s rated for your needs plus about 50-100 watts extra for any future upgrades. Also, while SSDs are fast, they aren't a must-have. I still use older HDDs that keep chugging along just fine! Lastly, avoid spending on fancy RGB stuff; it’s about performance, not just looks!
Check this SSD out; it's both better and more affordable than what you've listed!
