rem26_art , 2 days ago to linux in I'm thinking of building a PC - any advice?

I personally don't do a lot of Blender work outside of a super basic render with like one or two light sources and never really used it much when i still had an Nvidia card so I can't really speak to it, unfortunately. I've never really experienced any crashes or issues or anything, outside of a regression in one of the versions of rocm-hip that was eventually patched.

I'd avoid a 13th or 14th gen Intel processor right now because they've had a lot of problems with their manufacturing process. Otherwise, there's not really much difference between AMD and Intel in terms of like, OS compatibility or anything.

I've done some basic work with Davinci Resolve on linux and I haven't really had any issues with my Radeon 7800XT. I can't really speak for using the proprietary drivers for AMD, but with the open source drivers, as long as you install rocm-opencl through your package manager, Davinci Resolve should be fine. Overall, I'd recommend an AMD GPU.
Edit: You mentioned blender in a comment. For AMD's open source drivers you'd need to install rocm-hip for Cycles to work

Edit 2: I hadn't tried blender in a bit and I realized apparently at least on Fedora 40, you also need rocm-hip-devel at least as of 09/24/24 for supported AMD GPUs to show up in Blender. Idk how that would translate to other distros

PC Part Picker is good cuz when you start a new build, you start with the CPU and then it'll only show you parts compatible with that CPU. As someone else mentioned tho, its not perfect and you still may want to check clearances between parts, like that your CPU cooler isnt too tall for your case, or that your Power Supply isnt too long (been there, lmao)

From my own personal experience with buying brand new RAM and it being bad a few times, I'd probably run memtest86+ for a few hours once the computer is together to make sure that the RAM actually works. You can download the linux ISO w/ GRUB option and make a bootable flash drive out of that and let it run. Afterwards, I usually install my OS. Might save you a few headaches down the road if you get into your new OS and things behave strangely, but its up to you.

Other than that, the setup shouldn't be too hard.

The Henry Stickmin Collection is a set of games that were on Newgrounds that is a choose your own adventure game with a ton of references to other things. From Marvel VS Capcom 2's Ironman Infinite combo to Jojo.

It's made by the same developers as Among Us

I think thats a pretty big achievement that it runs at all on the wrong instruction set. RISC-V development really seems to have come far

rem26_art , 29 days ago to pcgaming in 6800XT connected to PSU via single cable

When I bought my last PSU and GPU it also came with a diagram like this, so that's how I plugged in the cables. I guess its better to balance the power draw for the GPU over both the GPU ports on the PSU, rather than try to pull it all through one cable.

The annoying thing for me was that my PSU (a Seasonic) didn't come with single GPU power cables, and only came with the ones with 2 ends, so they're a little ugly just hanging there.
