Just go here and check the charts for the kind of work you want the PC to do. If one looks promising you can check specific reviews on YouTube.
For gaming the absolute best cpu/gpu combo currently is the 9800x3d and a rtx 4090, if you don’t have a budget.
Yes the part naming is confusing but it’s intentional.
It’s funny that you wrote the wrong GPU name while agreeing that the naming is confusing.

For very broad definitions of “convention”
Thousand times this. For actual builders that care about the nuance it all probably makes sense but then there is me over here looking at pre-builts wondering why the fuck are two seemingly identical machines have a $500 difference between them.
I’m spending so much time pouring through spec sheets to find “oh the non-z version discombobulator means this cheaper one is gonna be trash in three years when I can afford to upgrade to a 6megadong tri-actor unit”.
I’m in this weird state of to cheap to buy a Mac and can’t be arsed to build my own.
Yeah, and when you check the detail pages of the games and other software you are upgrading it for it’ll turn out the 6 megadong tri-actor unit should work well in general, but there’s a certain crashing bug near the end of this game I already bought that the devs haven’t patched yet…
And even after all those considerations modded Minecraft will be just about functional.
