I wouldn't buy a computer just for hash cracking as you could rent a gpu compute vps.
If you need to buy it, the more gpu power the better, since hashcat is optimised for cuda. At the moment the best consumer-grade gpu is the 4090, as it will give you the best hashrate. You can also find used 3090 from miners but be careful, since they can have been treated in a shitty way (eg. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZQqU8wf5N5I )
