Question I'm building a gaming PC and I need some advice for components!

[cscott24]

Im trying to budget for a $800 gaming pc build, but I'm new as hell and need some advice within components. Im looking for a build that will give great graphics, but won't have to carry a huge load of games since im using it for PC exclusive gaming, such as Escape from Tarkov and what not. If anyone has a build that is priced around that and think will fit my needs, feel free to share. All help is greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help yall

A little different with the Ryzen 3600 and the B450 Tomahawk (you will need a BIOS update) but a great CPU!!! RX 590 which is there or there abouts to the 1660. Changed to smaller SSD + HD combination.

If you could go $12 more over the $800 mark, then a bigger M.2 SSD and the 1660:
