If you want to go for it anyway, everything really depends on your budget. It's key because a $500 PC is very different from a $2000 one. If you're going to try to build a PC yourself, without any help, I would suggest using this site: https://pcpartpicker.com/.
And watch some YT tutorials - it's way easier to connect everything together after watching a vid rather than reading stuff on the web

Thank you very much! I'll have a look at that after lunch, which is due any minute.


Actually, Tommy was asking about a Mac Pro 13, the 2020 version with the recently reintroduced Magic keyboard, and that looks every bit as good. Anyway, again thanks for that link and I agree that component prices are deathly high - you're right!
