All open computer components are, right now, the cheapest they are likely to ever be again for the rest of your life. This is the end of open personal computing, and you should build something to ride out until the grave now.
The best computer is the one you have. I built a rig 3ish years ago now and found that I just don’t play the AAA games that require the cutting edge hardware often enough to justify what I spent back then (let alone today). I could have grabbed a used 10 year old machine and played all the games/run all the productivity stuff just fine with that.
