Not to be that yt'r that shills my videos all over, but you did ask for a low powered desktop build and this $350 one I put together is still my favorite. The 3060 12GB with llama 3.2 vision 11b is a very fun box that is low idle power (intel rules) to leave on 24/7 and have it run some additional services like HA.
