Teach me your ways. I don’t have a very new model, I think it’s a 4130e or something. Do you use CUPS?

My issue lies elsewhere, it takes me that long to have the printer recognized by the OS, then by CUPS browser, then I send the printing job and… it just stalls, never prints. I then cycle the USB ports and start all over again until it miraculously prints
I have a HP printer and printing is never a smooth process. No idea why, but it takes me 5/10 minutes each time
You will have to look at the second hand market for sure, but you can probably get a decent 1080p 80-100fps medium/high build.
Something like (or equivalent):
Ryzen 5 3600
RX 6600
16GB DDR4
1TB SSD (probably not NVMe)
Whatever case
Whatever monitor, even if only 60Hz, for now
Whatever MoBo
Tier A PSU from the Cultists Network PSU tier list
You can most likely get everything used if you buy from a second hand shop that has a form of buyer protection (eBay and similar) and thoroughly check and clean and test everything you buy
Haven’t seen this mentioned, but did you make sure to plug the display cable into the GPU and not the MoBo?
edit: nvm, just saw a comment with same suggestion
Nitro+ worth it?
I guess not for that much more. A 10% increase is substantial, and I don’t think the difference in actual performance is enough to justify it; but you also said that your region can get toasty in summer, and the Nitro+ has better cooling which could help. I don’t think the Pulse will get too hot to work, but it may be something to consider!
DDR5
Those are one of the best performance to price ratio, and they’re very inexpensive for what they are (plus full support for AMD overclocking, EXPO I think it’s called); you can also go higher frequency, but prices will go up as well.
cooler
Good call then, AIO will probably perform a bit better with extreme high ambient temps
970
All good, a 970 Evo Plus might be cheaper so why not!
5.0
Yeah, there’s no way gaming will saturate PCIe 5.0 anytime soon, no need to pay premium for specs you won’t benefit from
Happy building and gaming!
About RAM, Trident Z5 NEO @ 6000Mhz seems to be the best price/performance ratio.
About GPU, I’d personally go for a Sapphire as they’re one of the historic AIB for AMD GPUs and I also dig a lot the design of the Nitro+ lol
See if you can save something on the MoBo (by getting a lower trim) and 2x2TB might be a bit overkill for gaming only (ofc it depends on your habits, but I personally don’t have games installed for more than 500-600GB). Also, you picked two PCIe 4.0 NVMEs, so maybe consider a 970 Evo Plus if it’s cheaper than the 980 Pro
About cooler, I’d prefer an old fashioned air cooler simply because it can’t leak lol
Data hoarding haha I know it’s not ideal, and I will build a NAS at some point, but at the moment high-res, high-fps, high-details gaming is a priority!
Got it once in the one year I’ve been on Linux
