Hello DevRanters!

I've put together a gaming desktop, and I want your opinions 😊

Keep in mind, I am Australian, so it's all in AUD currency.
Currently 1$ AUD == 1.30$ USD

    Better get Zotac GPU and remove the WiFi if not really needed else looks good.

    And a quick note for the CPUs, I am unaware of support for Ryzen but if you change your mind and get intel(6 <= gen) keep in mind that the linux intel hd graphics support is very poor.

    Thanks for your recommendations!

    Any reason for Zotac in particular?
    I use WiFi currently, although am looking at moving the router closer to my desk, so I could use Ethernet later down the track.

    Ryzen is compatible in this build (to my knowledge), but Intel is good too.
    Any recommendations for the CPU?

    @coolq Zotac gtx 1050 is same (almost) specs but 100$ and smaller.
    And for the cpu: I would buy ryzen(you should look what the support is) or little older intel (5 generation for example) because graphics on linux are completely supported and the price is lower.

    I'd that 100$ AUD?
    Also, thanks for the CPU suggestions!

    Okay thanks! I'm all for AMD. Want to elaborate?

    @coolq just my experience speaking, i had both 1050 and now 460 and the latter delivers a bit more performance-wise but it was cheaper

    @coolq Totally forgot that, sorry.

    @ThatDude I assumed that if it’s a desktop, he can probably remove the wifi.

    Hmm, interesting! I think I'll look into the rx460 😄

    @just-basic-user
    No problem, I appreciate your effort!

    @ThatDude
    I currently use WiFi, but that may change 😤

    @ThatDude Yep, completely depends on one’s needs.

    You should get faster RAM, Ryzen really loves fast RAM

    I really wouldnt use a 1050 for gaming, 1060 or 1070 would be much better...

    How high is your Budget?
    I mean, with this build youll be mostly playing on low or medium Settings...

    @IamGay6969 Okay, but I think the 1050/rx460 is enough for what I need, I've done some research, and for the games I play, it should be fine.

    @RealKC Faster RAM? Okay, I didn't know that, thanks!

    My budget is pretty low for a gaming PC, but it's having enough 😄

    @ArcaneEye hmm, okay. I'll see if I can invest in ram speed 😉
