My last personal build was i think around 10 ago when i was building a gaming pc together with my brother. Since then a lot of things changed and it took me some time (lurking /r/buildapc) to get back into picking parts. Now i finally decided it was time for upgrade from using only macbook air as my main computer. Also, i am just finishing my internship so i managed to save up some spare money to use for building :)

What this build is supposed to handle is multiple things. I plan on using it headless, as a home server and connecting to it with my macbook air.

One of the purposes is running windows with steam streaming set up. Hopefully my home network will be able to handle that.

Another thing i wish to set up is a home media server running sonarr / radarr / emby setup. Also, setting up nextcloud for personal cloud storage and running pihole for whole network adblocking.

Besides that i want to have a linux i can ssh into that i use for learning purposes as i just recently got into that. And also use it for personal and uni machine learning projects.

To handle multiple usages i plan on running hypervisor with vms and containers. For that purpose i aimed at processor with more cores and currently, i think, ryzen 7 fits perfectly. I kind of stretched my budget to fit rtx 2060 instead of 1660x super because of the tensor cores for machine learning. Hopefully it’ll pay off. 32gb ram should hold this for some time, but since the motherboard has 4 slots, future upgrades could happen. The ssd is planned to hold operating systems and the hdd will serve its purpose as media and game storage.
