planning to get one as main PC, cause due to the low power, i can use daily without worry and as for my gaming pc, i use it when i need to do video editing, and AAA gaming

*blinks hard* woah, what kind of garbage specs are these for that price point... You're much better off with a Miniforums or Beelink mini pc, if you're worried about warranty, Beelink has local sellers that offer warrant too.

can recommand me a brand for mobo, gpu, ram? mainly focus on components quality and cooling( cause better cooling or less hotspot mean components will last longer)

 

 

mobo in order: MSI, asrock ( Taichi only)  then giga

 

GPU:  

AMD: Sapphire, XFX

nvidia: MSI, giga

 

 

 

 

which model to get will go for newegg most review like for mobo

Honestly never built my own pc before (shocking I know), so don't know about mobo. Usually GPU I go for AMD or Nvidia,  Ram Crucial or Kingston.

Heng AMD decided to drop the stupid P-core / E-core shit, tiagong it's terrible for running virtual machines.

Wa knn .. wasted 1hr installing Debian on the laptop with a relatively large ISO .. installed so much nonsense by default that a bit pissed off. Weekend maybe do a netinstall and put only what I need 

 

Thankfully most of the hardware seems supported - install with ethernet - upgrade, then wifi works

This one confirm setup a shop in USA to cater to the "Made in USA" crowd - but confirm all parts made in China / Taiwan / SK :D 

 

Find similar spec one from your favoured brands can liao

i think is this setup not bad

 

ITX casing: Tecware Fusion Steel ITX (support matx and atx psu) = $83

PSU: seasonic 860watt platinum (my old psu)  = Free 

NVMe  SSD= WD black 1TB (my old ssd) = Free

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT = $160

Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB = $60

GPU: IGPU = free

Mobo:  

https://www.newegg.com/msi-mag-b550m-mortar-max-wifi/p/N82E16813144636 = $202

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b550m-steel-legend/p/N82E16813157940 = $168

 

 

= $471 to $505 + taxes = $510 to $550

 

 

i think i build a matx better, a lot cheaper. Ryzen 5 5500GT is like 750m instead of the 780m i am seeking but i can upgrade to a cheap <$150 in future if needed

 

 

this cpu 5500GT say 80wat on average  vs mini pc say on average 10watt = diff is 70watt

 

say i use 6hr per day = 420watt per day = 420 divide by 1000 = 0.42 kWh = 0.42 X 31days = 13.02kWh = 156.24 kWh per year = 156.24 X 0.32cents = $50 = 10yr to break even

in short in order to save 70watt, i need to save Extra $500 for the cost of the device and it take 10yr to break even, i dont even know if my device can last that long.

 

muhahahaha

 

 

 

 

 

option: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT = $160 (+ ram = $220) replace with AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with free Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 = $175
