Notes:
My 2nd build ever and first time building on my own. I was happier than a pig in mud when it power on and posted on the first attempt.
My build (nothing fancy, just for some 1080p gaming):
*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.
those parts would make a great Linux gaming build
Thats partially why I went with an all AMD build. I plan on installing Linux on a separate drive in the near future. I only plan on keeping Windows for the few online games that dont enable Linux support
My new PC only has Linux and I'm currently flying on maximum settings in Rocket League, God of War, Horizon: Forbidden West, 1440p, 240 Hz monitor.
I am only keeping Windows around because I have some Rocket League montage clips there I want to keep. Otherwise Windows would not be on my new PC. I just have yet to move that drive over to the new PC.
I also have an all-AMD build. 9950X3D + RX 9070 XT. It just flies. Please look forward to gaming exclusively on Linux! ❤️🎮🐧
Go Team ~~Green~~ Red!!
I made the switch! My last build was Intel + Nvidia. Now it's all AMDaaaaayumn
Fuck nVidia
Looks ready for Bazzite !
I have never ran Bazzite. My last build ran Ubuntu (started with 18.04 LTS) and my laptop runs Fedora workstation.
We do all sound like a cult but seriously, give Bazzite a spin, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
I dont see any harm in trying it out. This is literally just my gaming rig. I have a laptop running fedora that i use for coding, finances and the like.
- ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
I see you bought the 16GB version, good choice.
The only other cards in the price range of the 9060 XT were 8gb 3060s! It made the choice really easy for me - plus I wanted an all AMD build.
Very cool build! That is such a cool case. If I built with it, it would be so covered with fingerprints though haha
I wore nitrile gloves the entire time i was building and setting it up, but that was mainly because i have overly sweaty hands.
It also helped all of the glass had a protective film too.
Yknow, now i feel weird for not doing this. I already have the gloves too (i use them for cooking, constant handwashing destroys my hands and i like hot peppers)!
It's one of those things that seems obvious once someone points it out but now ya know for the next time ya do any tinkering!
Ill definitely do so from here out! Need to work on my server and i just got a new (used) laptop i wanna dismantle and do some upgrades on at some point (primary ram slots are not accessible without pulling the whole board, as well as 1 of the 3 M.2 slots).
How much did this run you OP? I have pretty much the same setup but 3 gens ago
5600xt
Ryzen 5 3600
32g ram
B450 mboard
Cost me ~1000 USD at the time
This build cost me just shy of $1300 at Micro Center. You could find parts for cheaper elsewhere and change the storage, cooling, and case for more savings
I also bought the Challenger 9060 XT recently. It's really good, surprisingly quiet too compared to my previous GPU that would scream at 2500 rpm.
Ya my 1070Ti was so freaking loud compared to this card. I have checked it a few times to make sure the fans are running 😅
Nice budget build!
Damn that's a seriously beautiful case! How are the thermals?
Okay i just tested playing Halo Infinite at 1080p on ultra settings with the frame limit at 100 fps (monitor max refresh i know weird). The temps stayed around 65° - 70° C while i played. No stuttering, no lag, just pure buttery smoothness
My cpu hovers around 40° C. I still need to test it under load, but idle temps are solid.
