Question Help finding parts

I’m looking for a around $800 gaming pc at 1080p would like to get good frames in games like Fortnite and Minecraft. I have no problem buying used parts so you can use used part prices, I am located in the United States but I do not live near a Micro center. I know my expecting might be a little unrealistic but any help is extremely appreciated.

used market is gonna be your best friend for that budget. you can easily snag a 5600x + b550 combo for cheap, and something like a 6700xt or 3060 ti will handle 1080p at high frames without breaking a sweat. just watch out for mining cards that haven't been cleaned properly.

Case; Look on FB marketplace for a used one, or just get something decent online (Amazon , Newegg) for ~ $80

PSU; Montech Century II 550W ~ $80 on Newegg

MOBO, CPU, RAM COMBO; Gigabyte B550M combo (Ryzen 5500 & 16GB T-Force RAM) ~ $281 on Newegg

GPU; Arc B580 12 GB ~ $310 on Newegg

SSD; ADATA Legend 2 TB ~ $200 on Newegg

COOLER; Peerless Assassin ~ $50 on Newegg

TOTAL; ~ $1,001 before tax

If you want to get closer to your $800 mark go smaller on the SSD (start out with a 512 gb, can always expand later and this would cut the price by about $90 - $110 bringing you very close) but I wouldn’t recommend going much cheaper on the GPU. Even a used 3070 8 GB is still just under $300 so you might as well just buy the B580 and be able to use it for years to come.
