How to spend $800 on a gaming PC

Put the largest share into the graphics card, since it decides most of your FPS. Buy a processor that is just fast enough not to hold it back, 16 to 32GB of memory, a 1TB NVMe SSD and a quality power supply. Skip RGB and oversized coolers first when money is tight.
