While this is certainly in self-build territory, Logical Increments does a real good job giving balanced builds for various price points. People new to building often don't know how much to spend on a CPU vs GPU to get the best value out of a given build cost.
I’m mildly suspicious of how rarely it recommends AMD cpus.
Yeah, with the Intel 13th and 14th gen issues, it really shouldn't be recommending them as much. I think part of the issue is they only have one CPU vendor per tier. If they improved that, it would probably fix the issue. That said, if we are going purely off price/power, I'm not convinced their choices are bad.
For a beginner though, I really don't like just shoving them at PC Part Picker. It's too easy to get overwhelmed with choices.
At least it recommends almost exclusively AMD GPUs
