I built my first computer.
I built a computer
I built my first PC. It’s pretty easy to do this, like lego with heavy metal parts and only a few combinations.
I optimized my parts list for price:
| Type | Part |
|---|---|
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 5 3400G |
| RAM | Corsair 8GB Single |
| Motherboard | ASUS Expedition A320M G |
| UPS | APC Back-UPS 600C |
| SSD | Crucial BX500 256GB |
| Case | Ant Esports ICE-200TG Mid-Tower |
It’s around $300.
Assembly was a tad scary. I/O covers are sharper than front panel pins and other connectors. I bled.
The specs are decent for me, as 8GB RAM is enough on Linux and Vega 11 is the fastest APU. I dualboot Windows and Manjaro, they mainly run Blender and Godot.
