Building a budget Blender rig (self.blender)

I’m looking for recommendations on parts/builds to use in a budget blender rig. I’ll be using it to make models/rigging for three.js web apps.

I know this is probably something that has been covered in a million places online, but after spending the weekend waiting 30 seconds for every click in blender I’m ready for a little chit chat and hope the community will oblige and share some tips on building a cheap but solid rig.

Fine with sourcing used parts on Craigslist/online etc. I just want the best rig I can buy for the cheapest amount.

Would be using Linux fo sho!

Edit: I live in the US. Don’t have a hard budget in mind, just trying to be crafty.

Edit 2: I’m basically looking for the “used Honda civic” version of a blender rig. Started freelancing this year and haven’t made the big bucks yet, but hit the point where I need something to get work done

Thanks!

Dude TYSM! Appreciate the in-depth response. Lots of good info here.

I double check last night and yes I am indeed currently using eevee. I currently am using an older intel NUC and it struggles, but I love her anyway

Excited to set something new up though
