Vent: Build guides that mix budget and high-end parts confuse me

Some guides blend cheap parts with expensive ones, saying it's for balance, but it often messes up the total cost. I think guides should stick to clear tiers, like all budget or all premium, to avoid headaches. What's your take on this mixing approach?

What does "for balance" even mean when the total cost gets thrown off?

Ever notice how my calculator gets confused too? I'm the type who would need "for balance" explained with crayons.

Look, I barely passed math so maybe I'm the wrong guy to ask lmao. But "for balance" always sounds like a fancy excuse when the numbers stop making sense. My brain just short circuits and I accept it.
