I made the following parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ksFHG
Costs 900 USD. I've got 100 dollars extra, what should I upgrade? Or just leave it as is and spend the last hundred on a nicer monitor? This will be a gaming pc. Must be an AMD GPU tho, and the mobo needs to have wifi. Thanks all :)

EDIT: i think imma spend it on case fans. 4 be quiet! SILENT WINGS 4 (3x140mm, 1x120mm) to keep the noise down

EDIT 2: heres the updated list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/strawbee/saved/rzTCrH

added some case fans, nicer ram, a nicer mobo (the first one didnt have usb gen 2 header, need it for the usb c port on the case). I do plan on getting the 7600 XT rather than the 6700 whenever that releases

You might want to get a 4060ti or a used 4070 instead. Better performance normally and DLSS supported games should run a lot better.

also amd cards work with linux much better, and i definetly want to go over to linux soon, especially as microsoft shoves more and more ai down everyones throats

It's gotten a lot better with the Open source Nvidia drivers and the latest Kernel. Fedora 40 in March is ditching X11, and it's expected that Nvidia cards ought to work fine.

I'm an AMD guy myself, but Nvidia isn't the headache on the penguin like it used to be.

Regardless, your best use of your $100 is to change the CPU to the son-to-be-released 5700X3D. That 3D cache is amazing.

meh either way I like how amd runs things more anyways

[–] milkytoast@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

yea i just dont like nvidia as a company. i like that amd open sources their drivers, allows other cards to take advantage of their upscaling tech, etc. im voting with my wallet here, and im voting team red
