As the title says, I am a PC gaming beginner looking to build a PC for myself. I know practically nothing about building or what parts to get, so i will need lots of help. Since i am a beginner what should my budget be? $600-$800? I am a beginner but i still want a solid pc, so all the help i can get is appreciated. I live in Canada fyi

These are older gen components. No need to get those. This is a current gen system with all the base components you will need, though it is pushing the budget a bit. If you want it to be a bit cheaper, you can get a 3gb 1060 or a Rx 480.
