I'm planning on finally getting a Gaming PC but I mainly have two questions
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
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)
Do you think it will be enough with three fans, or do I need five for extra cooling?
The infinity fabric speed, the stuff between chiplets wants to run in a 1:1 ratio with ram, so you can squeeze a little more out of that cpu if you get 3600 ram.
Ddr4 runs at half the rate is says (double data rate) so 3600 runs at 1800mhz which will match 1800mhz of the infinity fabric. Some chips can go higher but it's not guaranteed
