I Couldn't Build a Local LLM PC for $1,300 - Budget Tiers and the VRAM Cliffs Between Them

Building a local Large Language Model (LLM) PC is constrained by GPU VRAM, with significant performance drops when models exceed available VRAM. At $1,700, builds become unstable as components like CPU and RAM are compromised; below this, holding 16GB VRAM becomes impractical, pushing the viable budget floor to $1,700 for a balanced setup.
