I'm looking for a custom-built PC that can run most modern-day games and is 800 dollars or less.

I don't need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. I just don't want a prebuilt that's a ripoff. Everyone in my house keeps complaining that custom-builds are too hard to put together and are super expensive, so I want to show them one that isn't, and is better than any of their dumb prebuilts.
