Hey everyone,
Tired of my laptops not being repairable and becoming obsolete after little use.
I’m looking to build a desktop (or buy a good pre-built) that will comfortably last 5 to 7 years and gives me the freedom to upgrade. My budget is $2,500 - $3,000 CAD.
Primary Use (Gaming): I want to play at 1440p on Max settings with good frame rates (let me know if I’m overshooting here). I mostly play single-player games (really want to try the new Resident Evil) and casual multiplayer with friends. No competitive esports.
After some research, I'm very interested in a Ryzen 7 7800X3D/9700x + RX 9070 XT combo, but I'm open to suggestions!
Aesthetics: An all-black build with minimal to no RGB.
Storage: Just 1TB of storage to start; I can easily add more later.
Quick Question:
Should I start with 16GB of RAM and upgrade to 32GB later, or should I just jump straight to 32GB right now?
Thanks in advance for the part lists or suggestions!
Edit: also interested in using Linux as my main OS, are NVIDIA cards really that bad on Linux?
