Thanks for the info!

I mean I just wanna build it and forget about it and maybe consider upgrading something in it. I usually play the same games and rarely branch out to new stuff. Water-cooling seems like a lot of stuff I don’t wanna deal with lmao. I don’t plan on overclocking or whatever. Regarding windows Id use it if I got paid to aswell-- but I’m not and I’m pretty sure you still have to pay to use windows (which is sad because it’s a very sad operating system.) Really excited to see epic games launcher moving to Linux and respectively fortnite being brought to it. Love it or hate it fortnite is a popular game that a lot of people play it (including me) and it not being there is preventing people from switching. I know this isn’t related to the conversation but you reminded me of this and I need to tell someone about it. Unfortunately that someone is you. So sorry!

Unfortunately I do like my PS5 being a PS5.

Are any of the Xboxes (What is plural Xbox?) easy to jailbreak because I would not mind sacrificing mine to the linux gods.

You could not pay me to use windows lmao

For my use case I won’t go with water cooling based on the various responses I’ve gotten.

I will try!

Yeah. So I’ve seen…

I was looking at the steam machine but I’ve seen prebuilts with better specs than it. It’s not the 1st option on my list but I’m keeping an eye on it!

Thanks! Definitely gonna have an AMD card then!

Interesting. Definitely don’t feel like spending 2000$ lmao.

100% just buying a new prebuilt if that happens

Oh dear. Totally not going water cooling I guess

I’ve never been much of a graphics person to be honest. I mainly play shooters and I would much rather have fps over graphics lmao

I will prioritize graphics for games that are less action and more story focused though because I wanna be there. I don’t mind 30 fps once in a while. (I’m currently playing through assassins creed 3 on ps5)

I’ll be sure to check them out, thanks!

Oh, yeah I’ll probably roll with air cooling then. I don’t wanna do all that.

Lowkey don’t know if there’s even a microcenter here but I’ll check them out if I can manage it :)

But that’s probably not often…

I assume at that point buying a new one is recommended.

Oh thank you! Never heard of that channel so I’ll give it a check.

I’ve seen some pretty good deals on prebuilts at everywhere but best buy lmao. Reinstalling windows won’t be a problem for me since I use linux!

If I may ask what’s wrong with water-cooling? Should I avoid it or is it personal preference?

Interesting…

I’ll certainly take note of that!

Thanks!

Ram prices suck bad.

I enjoy a good bit of linux. Heard that amd stuff usually plays nicer with it although I don’t know enough to consider it a fact.

I guess I’ll keep looking into prebuilts then thank you

The entry fee kinda hurts but ig once you buy one you don’t really replace the whole thing right?

If you get tired of a component you just replace it easily (at least I’ve been told it’s just “adult nerd Lego”

Any suggestions of where I should try shopping for one?
