I've also created an Amazon page, where you'll find examples of typical builds and gear I like or want to keep an eye on.
https://www.amazon.fr/shop/vcg
For most items, there's a comment from me if you hover over the "" sign in the bottom right corner of each thumbnail.
Obviously, these builds and their prices depend on current Amazon prices. If you find a lower price elsewhere (and I strongly encourage you to look), obviously take the best possible deal for the same or equivalent gear.
I'll try to keep everything up to date, expand, and add more categories.

Test Protocol:
In-game settings are indicated on the various slides; no upscaling is allowed unless otherwise specified.
Testing is performed on a benchtop.
For gaming test scenes, either a custom scene or the in-game benchtop.
Tests are performed in 3 passes or more if there are anomalies or significant variations in order to identify the source of the variation. If there is no suspicious behavior, the three passes are grouped into an average of the three.
-Custom scenes in single-player games are looped for 60 to 120 seconds depending on the game, trying to replicate the loop as closely as possible with each run.
Test Config:
-GPU: RTX 5090 Founders Edition
-Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 280
