If no other solution is found and noone objects, i wont object to a ~4k system. The timing is a bit unfortunate with the chip shortage also please dont try to reduce it at any cost. if you can gain something significant for the project by adding 100€, do it. Of course if someone from AMD or maybe some cryoto currency miner could donate hw that would be nice.
