Can anyone recommend an over all good system that works nicely with Daz Studio?

I'm not expecting something incredible that can run daz and it's iray capabilities as quick as lightning but just a system that could work it comfortably which preferbly won't break my bank balance either. Is there perhaps a specific system on sale somewhere which has ideal or at least as close to ideal as possible specs for using Daz and rendering comfortably? If some one here has a fairly recent system they are using which they could recommend for Daz then by all means please do so.

    Based on my own experience, dedicated gaming rigs tend to do quite well.

    I recently bought an hp omen with 32 gb of ram and an 8 gb nvidia card.  I've been pretty satisfied with it thus far, after upgrading from a much weaker pc.  Getting one that has an nvidia graphics card is probably what you want to do first and foremost, if you're using iray for renders.  Gaming pcs like the one I replaced, aren't really that expensive.  I think I paid 4 or 500 dollars for a 8 gb ram/3 gb nvidia card (it worked fairly well for genesis 3 and below renders, though they took many hours to complete), but I would suggest aiming higher.  You probably want at least 16 gb of ram and a 4 gb card, though I am far from an expert, these suggestions are just based on my personal experience using daz studio on the 2 computers.  If you can save up the money though, the 32gb/8 gb combo has been a very smooth experience thus far.

    The only thing you really have to worry about is the quality of your GPU if you're going to use Iray. And perhaps what type of renders you want to do. Well lit scenes are quite easy to do on modest rigs. But if you want to do scenes with low light and "difficult" stuff with glass transulencies you need a better set-up. The scene below (reduced in size by 80%) took over 3 hours on my old GTX 960, my RTX 2080 did it in about 22 minutes. So rendering speed is what everyone wants. Along with GPU VRAM if you're going to include lots of geometry in your scene. I'd suggest nothing less than an RTX for starters these days.
