After having a good talk with a few folks, I've decided to buy a gaming PC and build it myself. I have everything I need, including all of the necessary equipment and accessories. I don't want to buy anything from NVIDIA because of some of its controversial decisions, its drivers' poor performance on Linux, and its high price. I'm going full red (AMD). Keep in mind that I will not be using Windows on this PC at all and will be running Pop OS on it as my primary operating system. I am also buying all the parts from Bestbuy. My budget is not to go completely over $2000

Two questions

  1. Will everything work properly with all of the PC accessories I'm getting, and is there anything I should replace? (not including the CPU or GPU)
  2. Do you think it will be enough with three fans, or do I need five for extra cooling?

The current price for everything is $1716.78

    Right up until the day they're bought out by shitheads, that's the place to go for setting up a home build.

    It verifies compatibility to a level you'd never even think of, including heatsink and graphics card dimensions.

      It really is rare to see something that works and does exactly what you want on the internet of today...

      It works fantastic

      I had a lot of parts that were incompatible with other parts I plan on getting
