Some years ago I came across a document written by, I think, someone with a name like "Kavaeric" or similar, with notes on building PCs, lists of decent parts in various categories, etc. I'm finding it really hard to find it again. No idea if it's been updated since last time I saw an update, which was near the start of the pandemic. Any ideas? Thanks :]

I'm once again trying to spec up a video editing PC for my dad, and once again finding that the choices are overwhelming, most of the parts I picked last time (before I ran out of time and left it to finish "later", which of course is now years later) are no longer available, and I'm starting to despair of ever actually delivering anything.

despite the reputation of reddit, posting to r/buildapc or r/askbuildapc (or maybe a different one, check the sidebar cause there's a few of those subreddits in that broader community for various purposes) can help locate parts within a budget, genuinely. You'll get some people who price outside it, but there's many still there who genuinely want to help locate or plan.

@Kay Ohtie Thank you, but I've never used Reddit, beyond following links to threads there. I have little idea how it works. I could try creating an account and try it out, I suppose, I just have this weird fear/hatred/something of creating yet more accounts on yet more sites these days though. But thank you anyway! πŸ€—
