So, I have a not so unique problem. I want to build a PC with decent power and good Linux support but local parts are hard to get and importing is a mess.

Local shops don't have much

https://www.scanmalta.com/shop/ this is the only local shop with parts in stock, and even they only have 1 amd GPU.

I'm looking for both amd CPU and GPU. At least 16 GB of ram and ideally as cheap as I can. Anyone have any advice to give me?

I'm aiming for something midrange-ish

All I know is I don’t know how to pick parts and what is compatable with ehat

In addition to the site linked by the other user, you can also websearch "is [part1] compatible with [part2]?" and check the results, they're often useful.

Provided you never let AI help you with this.

Yeah, bullshit machine would be awful for that. The way that it works it's simply too prone to invent parts that don't exist, or claim that two pieces are compatible when they aren't [or vice versa].
