$800 PC Budget

MalaMala89

I'm new to gaming, and I really want to build my own PC. I don't want to spend more than $800 and would love any feedback on parts I should get that will make it so I'm not at too much of a handicap when I start playing. Also a side question would it be better to wait until the country is back in action? Not sure if everything going on has raised prices?

Hello, we do recommend using the system builder on our site to narrow down the parts you want and know the pricing- https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx
Is there anything specific parts you are looking for in a build?

Hello @MalaMala89 do you need peripherals such as mouse/keyboard/monitor or is the pc all you need.  Also is 800 pre tax or with tax, and do you require windows.

Fortunately, our prices haven't fluctuated much at all!  And our stores are open while adhering to State and CDC guidelines due to COVID-19.  You can read more about that here if you wish.  Just be cautious if you do decide to go out and if you're in the NJ/NY area, make sure you wear a facemask.
