Christmas is coming, and I'm thinking a family PC is on the cards from santa.
It would need to run minecraft and Lego city undercover and that sort of thing.
I already have a spare TUF 750W bronze rated power supply (that I bought one time I was troubleshooting).
I will also probably upgrade my RX5700XT graphics card so put that in this build (suggestions welcome for a good bang for buck replacement that's good for a server running Mint and ollama (needs high VRAM) as well as used for gaming).
Everything else would be new. Suggestions for monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers too please!
Let's aim for a ballpark of $1000USD (I'll be purchasing in New Zealand).
Thanks in advance!
Then I say buy what makes sense. I went with a 2 slot board for memory, 1 slot for NVME, and only a couple slots for PCIe. I'm considering upgrading anyway for ddr5, but I don't really have a compelling reason to do so other than I would like to use the system as a server.
