Need advice picking parts for linux machine
Hey CP,
So I would like to build a decent linux machine, and could really use some help with selecting a couple of the parts.
Purposes:
- app development/maintenance
- DB development/maintenance
- video/audio editing
- graphics editing
- reading/writing large amounts of data
- dual-booting win10 for gaming
Requirements (open to having my mind changed):
- Ryzen 9 3900x (multi-thread performance vs intel)
- minimum 2x m.2 slots
- minimum 4x RAM slots
- WiFi 6 and 2Gb lan
- linux friendly
Parts I need help with:
- motherboard!
- graphics card!
Note: I added the linux-friendly requirement because i’m good with installing and using linux (including the shell), but not so good with troubleshooting hardware
Any advice would be ridiculously appreciated. I’m hoping to pull the trigger on everything tomorrow.
Edit: Forgot to mention my budget is $2000. Also, I’m currently leaning towards the 8GB RX 5700 XT graphics card, if that helps at all.
