800$ Computing System

I build computers alot its not my job just a small hobby i have built a 2560$ computer 2 years ago thats for me

my friend has came to me asking to build his computer and everything but the problem is he only has a 800$ budget so meaning no water cooling or radiators

My question is what are all the parts (good parts) that i can use for this build
i need the following

Require atleast the following
1tb hard drive
16g ram
i7 intel procceserr
This includes everything but the mouse and keyboard

this is gonna be a gaming computer

not sure that's possible

Unless OP wants to play any game on the lowest settings possible, he's not going to be able to get this build under budget.

Getting an i7 processor takes 20% of the budget right there. Maybe go for something a bit cheaper such as an i5?

The i7 + 16GB of ram, will take up 55% of the build.

My current build, which was $1400 a good 5 or 6 months ago is now only $929. Don't listen to the idiots here. It's an i5 yes, but unless you're streaming or editing, there is no need for an i7. Not to mention the fact I have this at a stable overclock of 4.5Ghz, ram is at 1866mhz. You can play most games at high or max settings.

^ That will be a baller gaming system. He can upgrade to 16GB of ram he can afford it. He doesn't need an i7 for gaming. A mid range i5 is more than enough for just about every game.

Lmao, doesn't matter. It's still going to be $1,200. That's $300 more than what you told OP.

Regardless, it's still above the price he stated.

I think you sould go for good I5 and 8GB ram with this amount.
