I want a new PC in the foreseeable future, so here I am asking for advice
Here's some basic info about my current build
-Processor: i7-7700
-RAM: 32 GB DDR4 (originally they were 16GB, but one module died and I had to buy new ram modules)
-Graphic Card: RTX 3060 (originally it was the GTX 1060 3GB but it died too)
-Motherboard: Asus Z270H
-Case: Zalman Z11 plus. I hate it, it's ugly, I did not chose it (they didn't had in stock the one I bought and gave me that one instead) and cleaning it is a pain in the ass
I'm planning in changing teams, leaving Nvidia, Intel and Windows behind for AMD and Linux
I can't afford a high end PC, but it will be a gaming PC, so let's stay in the middle (more or less in line of what my current build was 6-7 years ago)
The thing is Idk much about AMD (I've been inside the Nvidia bubble for too long), are they going to launch new hardware (procesors and graphic cards) soon? should I wait? will the wait be worth? (yeah, sorry. those are the eternal questions, I know never is the right moment to upgrade)
I DON'T have any interest in most AAA graphic intensive games (like GTA VI) there are some exceptions, (like the next Monster Hunter) but I rarelly play AAA games (In general I'm more into a A or AA games) so here it is possible to cut some corners a little
Ok, those questions were a little bit generic and I can investigate on my own, you can ignore them, but I have some questions a little bit more specific
I have a PCIe 3.0 NVME M.2 SSD and a Samsumg EVO 870 EVO (Sata 2.5'') I'll like to reuse in the new build. would it be possible? are new motherboads (with PCIe 5 or 6) backwards compatible? (asking about the M.2 SSD that uses PCIe 3.0 mainly, the other one is a normal Sata SSD) I plan to buy a newer (and faster) M.2 SSD too, but the extra storage is always welcome even if it's slower
About the case I just want a simple case, easy to clean and as silent as possible (so the bigger the fans the better) with plenty of room inside so it's easy to work with it when I need to do some maintenance like cleaning or replacing something, I don't need RGB nor a glass window nor all the fancy stuff so what do you recommend?
Another dilemma I have is the screen, it's so old it it only has a DVI port!! (SyncMaster BX2335) but still works, is full HD and its size is 23'' I don't have room for a much bigger screen so idk if 1440p or 4k screens are worth, tbh.
haha I totally understand. I’ve got mint on an old work laptop, xubuntu on a cheapo netbook, ubuntu on countless virtual servers, etc. who is Liam Proven exactly?

thank you. found it shortly after making my comment and then started a new career. the pull back to shoot mechanic has to be my favorite in any video game.
dismantle capitalism. I bet in like 24 years some disruptor is going to come along and buy up rights to the shit thats on peacock Hulu etc now and offer 9 bucks a month to stream it to you. rinse repeat. fuck this corpo nightmare.
thats a sensible solution actually. doubtful that the studios would ever go along with it, given how reluctant the studios are to pay writers a fair share.
It’s a Bethesda RPG in space. If you’re looking for No Man’s Sky, it isn’t that. If you’re looking for Elite Dangerous, it isn’t that. But it is a BSG RPG, just like I’ve been playing since Morrowind, and it really scratches that itch. I like the characters I’ve met, I’ve enjoyed exploring, and I’m starting...
I was interested in buying a Steam Deck… Until I discovered all the (apparently) better alternatives. Asus Rog Ally, OneXPlayer, Aya Neo etc… I like the idea of an handheld console and obviously I would like to have a device that can run almost everything, so the Windows based handhelds seem better than the Steam Deck. Is it...
I bought a Onexplayer mini. I massively regret having done this instead of spending less money on a steam deck. the batery life stinks. I wish I had touchpads.
To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you...

your meme is bad and you should feel bad. all the countries with gun bans have 0 mass shootings this year. there have been at least 400 mass shootings in the united states this year.
I like science fiction movies and series of all kinds, as long as the story is good. In the past I watched one or two Japanese science fiction movies and remember that I liked them very much (I don’t remember the titles, though)....
gotcha, I did skip to the bottom and see the bit about still using g00gly maps. been on graphene os for about 18-19 months now and Magic Earth keeps getting better and better.
from what little I know about virtualization I am reasonably sure that you can pass through the mic and camera to the guest windows VM and it should perform as if they were native
