I think building your own computer is a great idea! I don't think you should judge hardware as a "hard" thing instead of a "soft" one, it can be very relaxing and chill, there is a lot of personal opinion to it and such, and with a bit of luck and a lot of knowledge you can end up with some really good cheap computer!
I built my computer in 2015 and it still works fine, can even run some of the AAA titles releasing (not on peak performance of course), and it has been slowly dying (mostly hard-drive problems), but I am still amazed that my computer has lasted this long!
Anyway, a tip that I think is good but you probably won't follow (and I also do not! but it makes sense), Linux is actually way more efficient performance-wise, with a lot of free-software and such, of course you have to learn a lot of obscure things and that takes a lot of time and effort and that can be extremely boring, and it is even better if you are a programmer because of how you can customize things, and then you become one of those computer wizards who shit on Windows apparently? anyway, Windows itself really makes performance bad and uses a lot of resources and that makes multitasking way worse in my experience, I don't switch because I am just too used to Windows and because of a few other things that I don't think would run on a Linux system even using Wine and such.
Also I saw that post on r/gamedev and it reminded me of you, that review the dude left on his game was terrible, I mean seeing some reviews people made on MARDEK's steam page got me mad - of course people can dislike a game but some of the reasons people do that and the way they express that is really pathetic - one dude complaining you cannot turn off sounds? when you can... turn the sound off using your operational system??? and he said the music is terrible when I personally think it is very good??? what amazes me is how people don't explain the WHY of something, and just say it, what is so bad about the music and sounds? but then I doubt that sort of person really thinks a lot and does something other than following their impulses and intuition like an animal, then there are people complaining about misogyny and racism (while MARDEK sort of criticizes misogyny and racism??? it really went over his head?????), but at least the other reviews sort of explained why they disliked it, instead of insulting you can calling you Yanderedev, this is something I'm used to because of other things I've done in life but it is really annoying and frustrating.
Also, DaVinci Resolve is really great! but yeah it is extreme on using resources, anyway, why do you use Krita? I've never heard of it, did you ever use something like GIMP? I am curious because it seems like a well made program but I've never heard of it and I wonder if it is superior to the GNU competitor to Photoshop which I use which is GIMP.
