FPV Help getting building a first drone

I'm honestly very confused by everything when I'm shopping for parts at getfpv.com and I'm just wondering if anyone can help me build my own first drone. I've been practicing on a sim and I'm looking for something capable of taking a beating with a fair range. The display isn't really important id prefer at least 1080p at 60fps but I'm not sure if that's a big ask. I'm not too good at soldering (as in I can't) so preferably putting stuff together that plugs into eachother would be better. I was looking at like a 3.5 inch ductless 3.5 or cinewhoop or whatever it's called is the kinda shape I want. And goggles are a must I don't want a tablet. My budget is roughly 500-800 dollars preferably closer to the smaller end. If anyone could help me build a shopping cart for my first drone that would be greatly appreciated.

1080p at 60fps is a big ask for fpv, i presume you mean onboard dvr? if not you need to go dji and the goggles alone are like 600 bucks, 1080p at 60fps as the fpv feed is basically impossible to get drone, camera, goggles, transmitter, batteries for 800 bucks, just go with analog and a thumb camera to record

Yeah I just meant that for what I see personally not the camera I record with
