ISO: mid/low-budget climbing build

I am I thinking about building a Chinese carbon road bike. I am living in Europe in the middle of the Alps, so I don’t really need an aero frame - I am looking for something that is more of a climber, stable on fast descents and as light as possible for the uphill. I want to go as much carbon as possible / feasible: frame, wheels, handlebars, seatpost,...
Still not sure about electric shifting, disc brake or rim brake -  maybe someone of you guys has already build up a comparable idea ?
I’m looking forward to your proposals and ideas regarding frame and wheels and general setup.
“Thanks” to corona, Budget is limited. Shouldn’t be super cheap, but dura ace isn’t in the budget...

@Jerryno
Fully agree, sorry for that.

Quick translation:
Cavino asked me whether going rigid SS would be an option to keep a build light (and save some bucks). But as I am living in Tyrol with mountains right in front of my door I plan to go with more than one gear and a front suspension.

Ha Calvino,
Rigid Single wäre dann nur was für den Arbeitsweg. Wohne in Tiroö, da gibt’s zu viel schöne Optionen, für die ich  ne Schaltung und Federgabel haben will ...

Hi all,
Sebastian from Austria here. Mainly a ski mountaineer and trail runner, but spending quite an amount of time in the saddle (road, trails, XC) - but only for training purposes and commuting to work, no races.
My 14yr old 3*9 26" alu HT is way too old and now it's time to move to 29" carbon hardtail.

Budget is kind of limited (want to try and stay sub 2.5k €), nonetheless I'd aim for a sub 10kg build.
It may happen that I'll start a thread soon and get on your nerves with questions you have heard 1000s of times before :)
