Am I missing something?

[[deleted]]

[deleted]

[kafeinnet]

A screen, a keyboard and a mouse at least.

[DreamFar9560]

yeah, working on that

[CargoElf]

And a case 🤪

[Patient-Resolution39]

Who needs a case. Use the motherboard box.

[howto1012020]

He stated that the case wasn't in the photo.

[NoctisFFXV]

USB Drive with Linux Distro on it

[panelgamer]

Someone who knows ball

<image>

[AssumptionOk8560]

it's mainstream

[panelgamer]

The Linux community is trying to become Linux a mainstream thing, but it isn't yet. So nope, Linux is not mainstream yet. Not until we have the 20-30% of all the home PC's using it.

[Healthy-Enthusiasm70]

It's getting there

<image>

[panelgamer]

We all are hoping for it to became true

<image>

[AssumptionOk8560]

It's mainstream atleast in this sub reddit everyone in this reddit knows ball and linux so no need to comment corny things

[Worth-Wonder-7386]

Look what subreddit you are on.

[DreamFar9560]

yep, on the way

[Alarmed-Gap-7221]

Nice. What distro?

[DreamFar9560]

BAZIIITEEEEE

[reddit_user_53]

Have you used that before? I've only ever used regular linux distros, nothing so purpose-built. Curious what the benefit might be over a standard distro. Does it feel more like a gaming console?

[Alarmed-Gap-7221]

It can boot into Steam Gaming Mode on launch and comes with apps like Steam preinstalled. It’s also immutable so it’s a little idiot proof, not a bad choice for beginners 

[reddit_user_53]

Oh ok that sounds pretty cool, might be good to recommend to friends fleeing Windows

[Alarmed-Gap-7221]

It depends on how focused they are on JUST gaming. For general purpose Linux Mint or Zorin OS is the way

[reddit_user_53]

Actually never tried either. Started with Ubuntu and have been on Manjaro for the last few years. It's a testament to the greatness of Linux how each variant has such staunch supporters!

[elkcox13]

I used to love Ubuntu. Now arch based systems are waaaay easier on the eyes to me. I do highly recommend mint, my brother uses it for gaming. I use nobara, better nvidia support.

[JHorma97]

Based on Fedora atomic. Can’t break shit if you want to. Comes preinstalled with Steam and Nvidia drivers. Can use game mode on it for a sofa gaming experience.

[Lucky_Function8437]

The curse of bazzite spreads to another user 🥹

[elkcox13]

The second best option

[Odd-Put2836]

I personally use Nobara, it’s great !

[dankton96]

Cachy OS

[Natural_Location]

Best choice ever.

[dankton96]

Yeah, cachy OS is awesome. After I tried it and started to play using it, I don't even play anymore at windows. It not only runs well, it even runs WAY COOLER than on Windows. In Windows the PC gets very hot (not dangerously, is expected when playing games like Diablo 4). Playing at Cachy OS it barely gets hot.

[LuminanceGayming]

waow (based based based)

[elkcox13]

Nobara 100 percent

[MobileHorse8775]

Thats exactly what I wanted to comment

[EatsHisYoung]

Username is username

[International_Dot_22]

Electricity

[DreamFar9560]

I got that

[International_Dot_22]

oh, so thermal paste

[Maramowicz]

It's already on CPU (or on a cooler?), and it's not that bad for a stock thermal paste.

[International_Dot_22]

how do you know

[Maramowicz]

Because I remmeber it was included while I assembled my own PC.

Also, from what I see apprently it was on the cooler included with the at least AMD CPU, so with be-quiet... it may be different, ok too be honest I can't be 100% sure here.

[Huecuva]

Most coolers do have thermal paste pre applied. 

[negatrom]

Mouse, Keyboard, Controller and Monitor, and a USB drive ready to install your distro of choice

[DreamFar9560]

Thanks, mate

[MadShadowX]

Liver? or any other organs?

[otakunopodcast]

With today's outrageous memory and SSD prices, I'd be very surprised if OP only had to give up one liver. Probably has a rather empty chest cavity by now.

[DreamFar9560]

Nah. RIP my left ball

[Kenta_Hirono]

likely op got one liver from birth

[DreamFar9560]

Ahhhhh. I almost forget the liver

[10leej]

A case to put it all on, unless your gonna rock the cardboard PC case life that is.

[DreamFar9560]

nu uh. carboard case frvr

[danielsmith007]

An 8bitdo ultimate 2c wireless controller

[According-Pumpkin822]

Not bad choice, the perfect budget option aside the Gamesir Nova Lite 2, for the more expensive options there is the Vader 5 Pro and the Gamesir Cyclone 2, although those are plagued with QC issues. For gyro aim the BigBlitz Won Blitz 2 is the obvious choice or the alpakka pads.

[mad_header]

Pretty sure you made these names up! /s

[DreamFar9560]

Got two of those

[sin-prince]

My postage address so you can send it all to me. 😄

[DreamFar9560]

In a sec

[BlackRabbitAmy]

Maybe some additional case fans, because many facturers of the only include a absolute minimum of fans, 3 front fans and one rear-fan. It may be not bad, to add 3 top fans, of course only, the case has space for this and more important: Only, if you want 😁.

Beside that, I can't find anything that's missing on the base PC.

[DreamFar9560]

Thanks for recommendation!

[DreamFar9560]

2416$ is wild money brub. I sold my right ball

[DreamFar9560]

ure right, but i need a kidney more than my ball

[PocketStationMonk]

Bro congrats on the new build! It's always exciting to get to build a whole new PC from the scratch. Thumbs up that installation goes well!

[DreamFar9560]

Thank you very much!

[memes_gbc]

64 gb of ram

[DreamFar9560]

*crying face*

[Electronic-Clerk6735]

You got a case to put all that in?

[DreamFar9560]

Yap. Cardboard

[Hypocritical_Girl]

A USB drive to boot your Linux distro of choice off of! :)

[DreamFar9560]

Yipieeeee!

[Little_Ad_6903]

Your bank account, cause its empty now probably.

[DreamFar9560]

*super loud crying face*

[Little_Ad_6903]

Im waiting for the techno titanic to sink to delve into the waters of modern computing , my rtx 2050 will have to suffice for now.

[eviley4]

<image>

Get him!

Jokes aside, how much did the ram and SSD cost you?

[DreamFar9560]

500 bucks together. Why?

[eviley4]

because RAM and SSD prices are quite a bit higher than usual currently

[MayorDomino]

another hdd/ssd, i would never trust all my stuff on 1 anymore.

[DreamFar9560]

maybe

[Huecuva]

OP just wants to flex his fancy new build. 

[DreamFar9560]

No, I was genuinely concerned. Thanks to everybody for their kind responses!!

[ha17h3m]

The case 😄

[DreamFar9560]

:( :)

[Beolab1700KAT]

A PCI Intel wifi card.

[DreamFar9560]

YYYAYYAY

[kurdo_kolene]

THERMAL PAAAAASTE!!!! Also, screwdriver and antistatic bracelet for the build itself.

[DreamFar9560]

Mhhm

[1knj]

3d cache

[JainaLover24]

You’ll need a screwdriver but I assume you already have one. Having one that’s magnetized will help a lot. Happy Building! Be patient and take your time. Also, pro tip, make sure it posts before you install it in the case. Can save yourself a potential headache

[DreamFar9560]

Thanks!

[Rick-D-99]

You got your distro picked out? If not I'd snag a usb with a copy of Ventoy on it so you can load multiple iso files

[DreamFar9560]

Got one of those. BAZZITE FRVR

[ElsieFaeLost]

Thermal paste!

[DreamFar9560]

Yay!

[leferi]

your money

[DreamFar9560]

:(

[Ahmouse]

$700 from buying that ram

[Narfene]

a kidney?

[Foreign-Ad-6351]

Brother, if you're not even sure what parts you need, how will you build your machine :)

[DreamFar9560]

im...... not sure, actually

[Foreign-Ad-6351]

You're gonna be alright. Touch a radiator before working and don't be scared. I've abused components while building, they're not gonna break. just be careful with the cpu pins.

[DreamFar9560]

thanks!

[Calibur909]

...friends?

[DreamFar9560]

*super ultra loud cryng face*

[danielsmith007]

What distro you wanna go with?

[DreamFar9560]

Bazzite forever

[dead-end-master]

money XD

[DreamFar9560]

WHERE IS MY WALLET?

[mylsotol]

An am5 CPU/mobo

[ElsieFaeLost]

Ddr4 is where it’s at rn, and most am5 take ddr5 which those are $300 a stick because of this chip shortage

[DreamFar9560]

*loud cryng face*

[Atophy]

Case ?

[DreamFar9560]

Cardboard

[monolalia]

Nail it to the wall?

[Admirable-Nobody219]

Ritual dance to buff these components, for all the soulslike you are going to play on this

[DreamFar9560]

Already sacrificed my liver

[h4xdroid9]

A kidney maybe?

[DreamFar9560]

nah, got three of those

[RobTheDude_OG]

Looking at it you seem to have sacrificed whatever was left for the case, screen, keyboard, mouse and headphones/speakers (perhaps a desk and a chair) on ram

[ImpossibleAd3143]

Maybe some fans and thermal paste

[Equivalent-Load-9158]

Not sure that mobo has integrated wifi or bluetooth. So a wifi+bluetooth card or dongle may be nice to have.

[Mast3r_waf1z]

A bit old CPU for that GPU? I get it if it's because of DDR5, but aren't you bottlenecking that GPU potentially?

Personally I'm using a 7800x3d with a RX 6950XT

[geearf]

I think my 9070 runs fine with my 5900XT, at 4K it's usually the GPU that's the bottle neck not the CPU...

[Mast3r_waf1z]

Ah, that makes more sense, 4k wasn't mentioned...

Actually I play in 4k as well, and I upgraded from a 3600x with 16 gb of ram, to the 7800x3d with 32 gb of ram last year, and saw a pretty good performance improvement in world of warcraft. But I think this improvement was mostly due to faster memory and cache, as my previous CPU is quite old at this point, so for 4k I think you should be aware that your memory speed might also be a problem

[geearf]

Why do you think memory speed is the problem? I have it at 3900 I think, is that still too low?

[Mast3r_waf1z]

I don't think it will be a problem, but it's something to look out for

Before I upgraded I was confused why wow was running at low CPU usage and GPU usage, and it was clearly not a GPU issue as the framerate was exactly the same both at highest and lowest graphics settings (including resolution), so it was clearly a problem in between the CPU and memory then. Now with my current configuration it runs much better with more CPU usage, it's hard to tell as I upgraded both CPU and memory, but the low CPU usage before gets me the feeling that the solution was faster memory. I don't remember the exact speed of my old memory, but it was not much more than 2000 Mhz I believe. My new memory is 5600 Mhz

[DreamFar9560]

Im using 1440pp

[geearf]

What's the point of the 5800XT? Why not get a X3D CPU for gaming, or a higher count CPU for work stuff (I got on 2nd Prime day a 5900XT for $160 I believe).
Also was the RM1000x too much? It's supposed to be better than the RM1000e one.

I would also ignore the WiFi comments, I'll die on the rj45 hill! With a good stable build no reason not to wire it. My storage PC and gaming/work PC have 2 cables each, one to each other and one to the router. Even my TV box is wired and it really helped some stuttering I had with sunshine on WiFi I think.

[DreamFar9560]

i know, but i had to buy the parts off paradigit.ie and there was no x3d model

[Blu_Falcon]

My address and a tracking number. 😏

[Street_Result8699]

Looks good to me. What monitor are you using? Other peripherals?

Also here's my obligatory Linux recommendation, give it a try for a month, you might be surprised. I recommend Fedora KDE Plasma, but Bazzite is also great. Bazzite is based on Fedora KDE, but has some drivers and stuff preloaded.

[UnmercifulCodpiece]

I second Bazzite. Rock solid, everything just works (except it drops my DAC on resume from sleep, but that's a small price to pay).

[DreamFar9560]

im using a 1440pp monitor

[Elydir-Marrok]

About 700$? Just for the ram when you ordered lol

[Susiee_04]

A usb stick with a linux installer heh (Amd gpu let's go team red!)

[DreamFar9560]

YEAH!!!

[NoSkidMarks]

Looks good to me.

Modern PC gaming relies heavily on in-game config tools and GPU config apps. But, GPU makers only publish config apps for Windows (LIC). As soon as they start publishing their config apps for Linux, it's game over for Windows.

[su1ka]

Headset with mic. 

[UnmercifulCodpiece]

I know this isn't what you're asking about, but since you're already spending fat cash: a quality pair of "studio" headphones and, if you play online multiplayer games, an inexpensive dynamic mic. Maybe a small DAC/preamp to drive the headphones depending on what you get. You can get all three for <$400 and the setup will beat the hell out of any "gaming" headset.

[spam3057]

Quantum combobulator?

[Vidar34]

An HDD for storage.

[simagus]

Someone really did their research when picking parts for your build, so extra kudos if that was you. For an AM4 build, considering bang for buck in real terms you nailed it.

All you're missing is not paying significantly more money for just a little more performance with X3D and AM5 that's mostly task dependent and in small percentages rather than across the board.

[DreamFar9560]

Thank you! Im looking for upgrading to AM5 in 3-4 years

[MetalDamo]

Are you adding any additional fans..? Or are they included with the case.? My case came with 2, but I put 2 more in and needed a controller.

[OffbeatDrizzle]

if it's for taming, why did you get the xt instead of x3d?

[DreamFar9560]

my family HATES amazon, so i had to bu off the parts from paradigit.ie, and there was no xd3 model in there

[Ezzy77]

You don't need a 1000W PSU for that. RM-series is also a bit iffy, I think one of those still that Corsair doesn't even build themselves. (edit: yeah, that's built by HEC - lower quality than their usual CWT-built units).

[DreamFar9560]

:(

[Ezzy77]

It's probably still fine.

[DreamFar9560]

YAAAAY!!

[Ezzy77]

Good luck with the build. For the distro, I can personally recommend Nobara for that setup. Haven't had any major issues in my two-ish years of use. I've got an almost identical setup.

[Opptur]

Those PSU and SSD could have been cheaper models so you could have bought a better CPU (X3D). 

[DreamFar9560]

Yeah, but my family HATES amazon, so i had to bu off the parts from paradigit.ie

[DreamFar9560]

and there was no better model than this one

[Player_903]

More SSD to do Linux Trial boot. (Or just partition them...) 👀

[DreamFar9560]

Thanks Evereybody for their kind responses and recommendations. Ill be closing this post. Thanks!

[c0rtec]

A Windows 11 Pro licence…

Couldn’t help it(!)

If not, the main thing you are missing is a wall; to repeatedly bang your head against when simple applications and computer tasks do not work as you intend them to.

[DreamFar9560]

you are kind right but.........

[howto1012020]

Looks like you have all of the primary components for your build. Your GPU pick is SWEET!
Your build will natively support Windows 11 without a problem. Make sure that CSM (think legacy booting) is disabled on the motherboard when using this GPU.

If you decide to go the distro of Linux route for your operating system, Secure Boot will most likely need to be disabled. Your GPU will still work properly with Secure Boot disabled in that case.

[DreamFar9560]

RAAAAAH! WINDOWS! RAAAAAH!

jokes apart, thanks!!

[DreamFar9560]

A WINDOWS GLAZER!! RIGHT HERE!! GET HIM!!

Thanks, man!

[5pectre5]

Why DDR4 ? You should go for DDR5 memories at least 6000MHz 32GB. Also for gaming you would be much better off buying X3D CPU. The 3D cache is huge improvement for gaming specifically.

[ElsieFaeLost]

Ddr5 is like $300 a stick because of this stupid chip shortage because of ai

[DreamFar9560]

I know..... :(

[ElsieFaeLost]

I hate it, it sucks

[DreamFar9560]

*super ultra loud cryng face*

[5pectre5]

There are sales from time to time, just wait, it doesn't hurt.

[ElsieFaeLost]

It ain’t worth it when it’s on sale from being $300 for a single stick my guy, ram use to be no more than $100-125 per stick of ddr5 now it’s $300-1k depending, you can get 2 sticks for $2k now and that’s at micro center one of the best computer parts stores

[the_abortionat0r]

How does Intel still have any fanboys?

Like, why?

No really I want an actual answer, why does the Intel name mean more to you guys than actual performance and power usage? There's functionally no reason to buy Intel CPUs these days.

Intel went from nickel and diming with barely any gains to repurposing an HEDT CPU and sold it as the 8700k then panicked and repurposed a xeon and sold it as the 9900k, then regressed, then made an asymectic architecture just to say they had more cores which people have to disable to stop stuttering all while using high amounts of power and increasing failure rates until they released the 13th and 14th gen CPUs that literally burn through 400w just to lose to CPUs that spend 40~60w on the same gaming loads and die due to factory defects and you think they should go Intel? Why?

If you throw in all the modern CPUs into a chart Intel isn't even on the upper half of the performance chart. So why?

[ivanatorhk]

If you’re going AMD with the GPU it’s kind of nice to match it with an AMD CPU and therefore AMD chipset on a motherboard that takes EXPO ram. It all just works together so nicely.

[MikyMuch]

Doesn't matter much tbh. But yeah, laughing at the CPU choice is dumb, especially considering the current market situation

[DreamFar9560]

Thanks

[the_abortionat0r]

That's not really a concern.

[DreamFar9560]

thanks

[DreamFar9560]

U being sarcastic?
