Build sheet
Pick a part per slot from live used-market listings. Prices are price + shipping. Each part leads with its low end, the ask one in ten listings match or beat, since that's what you find sorting by price; for GPUs, asks under half the median don't count, because that's where the scams live. Your build is encoded in the URL — copy it to share.
