I have all the basic components ready for a new pc build
except for the CPU.
I can get by easily with a Ryzen 3, but that processor
would not be much better than my old Intel. But it
would allow me to finish my build faster, and be up
and running with Fedora on my new NVMe M.2 drive.
Where I live, ordering online at Walmart is about $ 10
cheaper than other services.
I will be using this computer for basic household task
while at the same time reporting my experiences with
Fedora and likely just the Rawhide isos. I hope to
install several Rawhide isos on my new NVMe in the
coming months, and probably other distros too.
I have no reason to hurry with this build other than being
anxious to report how it works with various Linux distros and especially
Fedora.
I assume it would be silly to waste money on a $ 300 cpu.
Right ? But if I can restrain myself, and take a deep breath,
then I should be able to place an order
the new Ryzen 5 3600XT in about a month. Those are currently
$ 250 plus tax U.S.A. dollars. I can not really justify doing that
today. Today, I could order the Ryzen 3 for $ 75, and start my
build next week. Does anybody really care how the Ryzen 3 now
performs in 2020 on Fedora ( on a desktop pc ) ?? I imagine that
would now only be relevant on a laptop.
