Also dont plug in displayport or hdmi cable into motherboard.
I'm very new to this so want to get it right, why is this not good?
also fortunately where I live, I have had only one powercut in 10 years but I have surge protection on every outlet extension.
I forgot to add this to the above wishlist, Ive added it now, this was the cooling system I was thinking of getting.
Thanks for this, I checked what I had saved as my wish list and it was a CL30 kit . Also I wasn't completely sold on the 4000D it's just the most recommended and honestly I wouldn't know what to choose for a case, so I appreciate the recommendations, I will have a look and report back.
Thanks for the Tip, really appreciate this, I will definitely wait a little while to see what changes in the prices
wow, thanks for the great advice, this is what I need. My main concern with my build spec was the CPU, I've seen mention that the one I chose, wasn't the best in benchmarks, so I will have a look at the Ryzen 9 7950x for sure.
I will also have a look at RX 7900 GRE for the GPU I want to invest the right way now, to not have to spend more later If I'm disappointed with what I've chosen with limited experience.
I would personally like to stick with all AMD, I've had major issues with laptops on Nvidia in the past, so I'm not a fan, although of course I know the best, high end options are Nvidia sadly.
I haven't started looking at gaming Monitors yet, I wanted to pin down a good build to get into, as I have to learn how to build it first, get it setup maybe test on the TV, before diving into a gaming monitor purchase. But i would be grateful for advice in this are also.
for cooling I was thinking of a Peerless assassins 120E , is this a good option?
I wish I was rich !! I live very much within my means, but this is one opportunity I have to spend some money I've earned on myself. This is mainly why I am looking for advice and guidance so as not to get it wrong and cost me in the long run. I would like this build to last me a long while.
What motherboard would you recommend ? I hopefully will be building my own Linux Gaming PC this year. All AMD, probably as others have mentioned with a Ryzen 7 9800x3d CPU and a asrock RX7900 XTX GPU.
I was thinking the MSI mag x670e tomahawk motherboard .
I used to do a reverse proxy setup with caddy , but now I self host a Wireguard VPN. It has access to Nextcloud on the same machine, Home Assistant and Kodi on another. On our phones, Wireguard only has access to certain apps the rest of the network traffic is normal, so a nice simple setup.
Having a look at the SN850x now, thanks for the tip
