Here is my first PC which I put together in my opinion, for a steal.
Last photo is how it looked when I bought it
All prices in AUD (Final price converted to USD)

The first thing I bought was a cheap PC for $390
– Ryzen 5 5600x + stock cooler
– GTX 1060
– 32GB RAM kit (Corsair Vengeance DDR4 8×4)
– MSI B-550 A-PRO motherboard
– 650W Corsair PSU
– Corsair Carbide 275R + Misc fans

I then found a guy selling a Gigabyte Vision OC 3070 for $200 along with a GTX1080 for $50. I sold the 1080 for $150 and the GTX1060 in the PC originally for $70.
Then the fans were upgraded to lianli clones from Aliexpress ($20 total for 6), the cooler was upgraded to a MetalFish FR600 ($40 on Aliexpress) and some lianli strimer cable clones were added (also from Aliexpress for $10)
A free Wifi/Bluetooth card was added.

Total cost after expenses added and profits deducted: $340USD or $485AUD.
It has the expected performance of a PC with a 5600x and 3070, that to say it plays everything in 1440P perfectly.
Thanks for reading.
