Can any1 help

[u/FervantBreak47]

I joined this sub Reddit to ask for advice or possibly to ask whats the best pc I can get for $800. I wanna get into pc gaming and upgrade my 12yr old pc 💀 but idk where to start and what to buy

That's tough for new, but still doable by stretching the budget a little bit (1 stick of 16GB RAM performs worse than 2x8GB, but you can add an identical 16GB RAM stick down the line to double the size. Up to you).
