What would be better? A <800$ PC built 3/4 years ago or a PC built a year ago with that costs 500$?

Solution
Depends on the parts. Intel CPUs have only gotten ~50% faster dollar-for-dollar over the past four years so if you scale that linearly, $500 today would get you around the same CPU performance as ~$750 four years ago.
