Gaming PC
So, I bought a IBUYPOWER pc from best buy, shows up with a broken CPU and Graphics card. Then I buy a Acer (Same one my cousin has) and the graphic card brakes within three hours due to a issue with shipping. Now I am either thinking of building my own PC or buying a new one.

So, If I buy one; where should I buy it from and what brand?

If I build my own, how do I go about getting all the parts?

(Around a 800$ Budget)
Never get prebuilt shit, always get custom. It will save you a lot of money and for the same price as a prebuilt computer, it will be twice as better.
Build your own. Look up video reviews on top end GPU's/CPU's/RAM/ETC and make a decision on what you want for yourself. That is what I did when I built my PC, I did MY OWN research.
If you buy pre-built then make sure you ask ibuypower nicely that you want your GPU's shipped separately from the computer. You NEVER ship a computer with the graphics card/s installed. That's like asking to get a broken PCI-E slot on arrival.

As far as what $800 would get you, you could get a gaming PC that'll max out most games at 1080P and can game 1440P/2160P(4K) at around medium settings.

************ is a great place to go to. But since you are in the US, I'd find the nearest microcenter I can find and buy all my parts there. You get some insane deals in micro center.
Definitely build your own PC. It's really simple(LinusTechTips has a video of a 3 year old building one) and you get a lot of bang for your buck. It might just be a blessing in disguise that your prebuilts have been defective.
Damn, that's some bad luck lol

For real, but both returns went very smoothly.
You're best bet is building your own.
Go to r/buildapc there are a lot of people who knows their computer stuff & also try building one within your budget on pc partpicker
