Buying a prebuilt is a scam already and buying one on eBay makes it even worse since people jack up prices sky high. Check DigitialStorm, iBuyPower, CyberPower.

When we say building your own system is better, it is. eBay has very few reasonable listings for their price/performance. $800 can go a long way in terms of building your own where you are limited by a locked factor on prebuilts and or resellers.

Also $800 (usd, aud, etc)?

building one isn't really that hard at all. If you were to get stuck there are countless videos explaining this from well known influencers to people just trying to help out. It shouldn't take more than an hour on average to build a system with minor management of the cables.

As far as if you really want to get a prebuilt i would look above at the recommended brands. Even then it's still a 50/50 you're getting a mix of premium to absolute trash products in a case. I would go with DS, or IBP; CyberPower from almost all the cases i've either had to help someone out or go through their systems are the lowest quality stuff you can find.

Most of us generally advise against prebuilts due to their nature. Depending on the brand they can put $500 worth of cheap components in and charge a fortune.
