PCPartPicker

By offering its users with multiple buying guides, this PC building website basically assist its users in building their own PC and give them ideas for creating ideal PC.

In about mid-2020, I used sites like https://buildmypc.net/ and https://pcpartpicker.com/, read through some other people's builds around my price point (I was aiming for <$1000), and researched individual components. Ended up building around an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + Asus Prime X570P, with 32GB of RAM and an Rx580 GPU. Example of a problem you'll have right now: I bought that Sapphire Pulse Rx 580 8GB for the GPU. Spent $190. Used ones of those are selling in the $400-$500 range right now, and $500-$600 new. And that seems about the baseline for most 8GB cards. Looks like some 4GB cards cost less, but still more than I paid for the one a year and a half ago. I think it's possible to jump on a local retailer when they finally get something in stock, but I'm not even positive on that. CPUs don't seem to be <i>quite</i> as bad, but have had a serious price jump too. I paid $175 for my 3600. Some are still selling used for around that price, and new for more (but still under the prices of the zen 3 CPUs after it).
