Budget PC for Gaming

Build Description
Current Gen GPU prices are crazy right now. There is no way I would spend 20% or even 50% markup for it. Got a used 7800xt from a friend for $200. He upgraded to RTX 5080, so he doesn't need it anymore. 7800 xt has 16gb vram. It should last me a couple of years. Hopefully, the shortage will get better by then. Other than that little fuss, I am pretty happy with this build.
