I did it a couple of times years ago. Most of the time will be spent researching online on which parts to buy (case, motherboard, PSU, graphic card, memory sticks, etc). Putting them together is fun and it could be a weekend project.
You could spend a premium to have this one prebuilt and ready to ship for you.
Just keep in mind that the moment you fire up this baby, something better is just announced :)

In my case before I even pieced the baby together, I already hear a new processor update announced. :LOL:

Maybe I just stick to math and call it a day.
 
Doesn't matter which PC.
Only difference is how QUICK you want to generate compiler errors. In that case, get a bigger machine.
 
Ubuntu is the way to go. Especially since Windows 11 now comes stock with Terminal.

Pretty nice PC. I remember back in the day (pre-Dell buyout) when Alienware would put out PCs that were overspec'd like this. I would drool over them.

people stray awway from used computers but if you know the basics a mac should last you a long time
