My 2nd build ever and first time building on my own. I was happier than a pig in mud when it power on and posted on the first attempt.
My build (nothing fancy, just for some 1080p gaming):
*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.
those parts would make a great Linux gaming build
Thats partially why I went with an all AMD build. I plan on installing Linux on a separate drive in the near future. I only plan on keeping Windows for the few online games that dont enable Linux support
My new PC only has Linux and I'm currently flying on maximum settings in Rocket League, God of War, Horizon: Forbidden West, 1440p, 240 Hz monitor.
I am only keeping Windows around because I have some Rocket League montage clips there I want to keep. Otherwise Windows would not be on my new PC. I just have yet to move that drive over to the new PC.
I also have an all-AMD build. 9950X3D + RX 9070 XT. It just flies. Please look forward to gaming exclusively on Linux! ❤️🎮🐧
Go Team ~~Green~~ Red!!
I made the switch! My last build was Intel + Nvidia. Now it's all AMDaaaaayumn
Fuck nVidia
Looks ready for Bazzite !
I have never ran Bazzite. My last build ran Ubuntu (started with 18.04 LTS) and my laptop runs Fedora workstation.
We do all sound like a cult but seriously, give Bazzite a spin, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
I dont see any harm in trying it out. This is literally just my gaming rig. I have a laptop running fedora that i use for coding, finances and the like.
bazzite is fedora based ;)
Well you had my attention, now you have my interest 🧐
- ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
I see you bought the 16GB version, good choice.
The only other cards in the price range of the 9060 XT were 8gb 3060s! It made the choice really easy for me - plus I wanted an all AMD build.
Very cool build! That is such a cool case. If I built with it, it would be so covered with fingerprints though haha
I wore nitrile gloves the entire time i was building and setting it up, but that was mainly because i have overly sweaty hands.
It also helped all of the glass had a protective film too.
How much did this run you OP? I have pretty much the same setup but 3 gens ago
5600xt
Ryzen 5 3600
32g ram
B450 mboard
Cost me ~1000 USD at the time
This build cost me just shy of $1300 at Micro Center. You could find parts for cheaper elsewhere and change the storage, cooling, and case for more savings
I had a very similar setup but just upgraded to a 5070 while keeping the rest the same (and overclocking the 3600) and still "bottlenecked" by the GPU the vast majority of the time. But also getting like 60fps native in cyperpunk at max settings 1440p (and well above 144fps with frame gen)
Box fort builders?
I also bought the Challenger 9060 XT recently. It's really good, surprisingly quiet too compared to my previous GPU that would scream at 2500 rpm.
Ya my 1070Ti was so freaking loud compared to this card. I have checked it a few times to make sure the fans are running 😅
Idk man. The PC community is full of shills and assholes if you ask me. Most uptight ego bitches I've ever seen with a constant "one up" mentality. It used to be cool back in the 90s and early 2000s when PC builds were about looks and now it's just "oh you can't afford a 5090 you must be broke, go back to console you piece of shit"
Yeah lol... Super fun community for sure b
Oh the irony.
Hey, OP. Cool purchase! Hope you have loads of fun building and playing on that awesome rig.
Are you… are you okay man? Who hurt you?
To be fair, I understand his sentiment. I just don't agree with him painting a broad brush, but I understand his feelings.
I came from reddit man. r/PCgaming is gross
We're okay here I think. At least better. The less pessimistic and cynical we are, the easier it will be to achieve, at least! ❤️😊 Reddit was cancer in so many ways, not just in "subreddit X, Y, Z".

Lmao.
Hard disagree. Every community will have some elitists, but overall, my experience in PC gaming communities has been very positive.
Any community has shitheads, pay them no heed.
Nice budget build!
The best part is it doesn't feel like a budget build!
That's awesome! Enjoy it! ❤️
Thanks, its hard to not just game all day, but I'm forcing myself to do the work around the house before i touch it.
Carrot on a stick, eh. Here are some adult points: 🫴➕➕➕🏅
