Hey Hikarichanners! This thread is for people to discuss rigs and help with building rigs, and I need help pls. 
The only experience I had with building a compooter was watching a friend of mine build my last one, which didn't go so smoothly, so I want to just do it myself. I'll take any advice given to me, especially since I will want to use Linux (It's mainly for privacy concerns, and my building hatred for Microsoft, but I would also like to use it for gaming and probably video editing in the future). These are the components I found through PC part picker that were recommended to me from the monitor I chose. I mainly picked AMD components as people say that AMD is more compatible with Linux, also AMD parts are cheaper, and it helps fit my budget of around £1500 - £2000...

Main problem I have right now is picking out the case. I couldn't find one I liked from PC part picker, so I searched around for one and found this...
CiT Classic Micro ATX PC Case and 500w PSU, Budget Friendly Office PC case | Black
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BFH98R2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_9?smid=A1ENGI3QDWM2UF&psc=1
It has USB and optical drive slots at the front which I wanted for my case, but unfortunately I don't think it will be able to fit all the components I found. I wouldn't mind downgrading so it can all fit in, as long it can run games at the monitors specs on medium settings, or just changing the PC case completely. But the maximum dimensions I can take for a PC case are 25cm w, 48cm l, 52cm h.
>>1719 Basically the parts that are increasing the price by a significant margin are the: RAM, CPU and GPU. Look into possibly getting previous generations of the CPU and GPU, maybe even the RAM. I think all the other parts are pretty good for the price. I'm too lazy and I've got a lot of things on my mind rn, so I'll return to this thread once I've gotten enough rest. >RAM Personally I would go with 16GB since it's the sweet spot for me, unless you are playing the latest AAA slop. Or doing a heavy workload with AI or compiling a lot of code. It's dependent on what you do on the computer. >CPU and GPU I recommend just going on a YouTube binge watch, which is what I do. Look at GamersNexus/JayzTwoCents/LinusTechTips (although Linus' reputation has fallen due to intentionally falsifying data) and try to find the best value CPU/GPU/RAM with their most recent videos (since they have the most recent data). Check other parts too to try to save as much money as you can. Once again, I'll return to this thread to be more useful and provide links and shit. Just cant think rn
>>1720 Alright, after doing more research (from mainly watching GamersNexus, thanks), I've managed to make a build that's a lot closer to my desired price mark of £1500. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VQ2cXR CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor (£139.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler (£36.95 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Motherboard: MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£110.09 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£79.98 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Silicon Power UD90 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£186.99 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Silicon Power US75 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£53.99 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Video Card (£319.00 @ Amazon UK) Case: be quiet! Pure Base 600 ATX Mid Tower Case (£89.99 Overclockers.co.uk) Power Supply: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£89.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Optical Drive: Asus BW-16D1HT Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer (£88.03 @ Amazon UK) Case Fan: Thermalright TL-C12C X3 66.17 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack (£29.99 @ Amazon UK) Case Fan: Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap 60.09 CFM 120 mm Fan (£18.07 @ Amazon UK) Monitor: Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ3A 27.0" 2560 x 1440 180 Hz Monitor (£198.95 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Keyboard: HP HyperX Alloy Origins Core RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard (£66.70 @ Amazon UK) Mouse: HP HyperX Pulsefire Surge Wired Optical Mouse (£42.98 @ Amazon UK) Headphones: HP HyperX Cloud II 7.1 Channel Headset (£53.79 @ Amazon UK) Total: £1575.49 I believe the main issue was the CPU. I don't think I needed a AM5 type, this AM4 one I found along with this other GPU should be able to achieve 1440p 144hz gaming, as well do general software tasks fine. I don't play triple AAA slop anyway so I'm not bothered that this rig won't be able to run them at peak performance, but from what I've seen of the CPU and GPUs capabilities, it can run newer games fine. I guess the one thing that concerns me is the storage. It seems NVME type storage is better than SATA type storage, even hybrid, but I'm not sure.
>>1722
Sorry, it's just one case fan. The Thermalright TL-C12C X3 66.17 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack, which are priced at (£18.07 @ Amazon UK). Please ignore the noctua case fan. I would delete the post to edit it, but I can't. 
>>1722 Now that looks like a good build. Not sure what else I could improve honestly.
>>1722 I changed the memory and both storages. That's it. Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£90.00 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£109.69 @ Amazon UK) Storage: Seagate IronWolf NAS 4 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive (£106.99 @ Overclockers.co.uk) Also, a friend of mine helped me make an alternative to this list with just two slight alterations (including the ones I just made). The GPU is changed to a nvidia one, while there's no monitor. This was done to make the machine compatible with the G-Sync monitor I already have, so the build comes out cheaper. I just wanted to go with AMD components as people always talk about how bad nvidia is with linux, but my friends says he's had no problems with nvidia stuff with linux. I'm still on the fence about it though. Video Card: Asus DUAL OC GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Video Card (£399.95 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
