Planning on building a computer but need some advice? This is the place to ask! /c/buildapc is a community-driven place dedicated to custom PC assembly. Anyone is welcome to seek the input of our helpful community as they piece together their desktop.
So I have a couple of starter questions:
Ex: I want to play Elden Ring at max graphics settings, I need it able to run xyz program for work/school
I'll ask some follow up questions afterwards👍
Also I'd recommend using PcPartPicker to find comp parts, it's what I typically start with when finding parts for my customers
Also, a thing that made this harder is that I'm a Linux user, ruling out all the nvidia stuff
Thankfully PC setup has become easier for Linux users as tools such as:
Itch.io/Steam - may have native launchers depending on Linux distro/Flatpak
Lutris/Heroics Launcher - can run Steam games and more
Wine/Bottles/Virt-Manager - can provide Windows app functionality
My only problem was whether or not a GPU would work, I have some experience with Linux and plan to go and as per advice I've been given
For:
Most modern GPUs on Linux should work, the brand I haven't had the opportunity to personally test is Intel's GPUs
I'm in Malta, As shown by the link I sent. My budget is flaxibke but ideally under 1000
I wanna get like maybe some ps3 emulation. Nothing too modern tho.
For Malta, the closest region for pricing looks like Italy so you'll want to use the Itallian region for parts selection
PS3 emulation alright👍
Also, guessing graphics features like Raytracing isn't a high priority but a bonus if possible?
Raytracing and stuff is a bonus, might try move my mc server from the worlds worst provider to said PC tho
Thanks for the wait!
Just had an emergency to deal with unfortunately
I've got a rough draft of your partslist: https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lgxnsh
I'll have to revise several parts and if you're willing to donate to my Liberapay I'll provide a PDF doc with my reasoning for each part🤗
Thank you for the draft. DW about the wait
A friend picked a similar price build from.Germany with similar specs, might get that
fair enough👍
best of luck and I hope it goes well for you!🤗
Thank you :3
The motherboard is what's used to connect all the parts together, plus it provides you with usb and video connection options on what's called the "rear IO (input output) port"
So on the rear IO port it'll contain connection options such as:
Higher end mobos will also have extra buttons on the rear IO to provide additional features such as BIOS/UEFI Flashback
Im worriedabout CPU and GPU slits
The CPU is inserted (gently) into the main CPU slot. Both will have on one of their corners (for alignment):
The GPU should be inserted into the topmost PCIE slot for optimal speeds (x16 means all 16 lanes are wired)
