So here some suggestions for setting up a good computer to build /e/OS or other Android Open Source versions. I made a budget, standard and high end proposal. I did not take into account too expensive solutions like AMD Threadripper and servers. Operating system is free as it is Linux.
Since I do have more experience with AMD CPU, the suggestions are with those processors but Intel is certainly also a good choice. The advantage with the AMD CPUs is the they have a graphic unit inbuilt, so one do not need a graphics card. The prices are from Germany and may vary wherever you are located. I took my favourite shop so prices may be even lower when buying from different shops taking the lowest price.

Summing up, do not take less than 32 GB and only a M.2 SSD with 500 GB minimum. Prices are currently very low for RAM and SSD.
I would prefer even 64 GB of RAM and a fast M.2 SSD for building with at least 1 TB, its worth the price!
