Hello everyone,,
I want to build my father a new desktop. He uses linux and windows and I never really used linux outside of work.
I'm in Canada looking for a cpu+motherboard under $300CAD (probably something that costs around $200USD in the US).
So far the two options I see in that price range are either something with a core i3 9100 or a ryzen 5 3400G.
This build will rely on internal graphics. (Even though he's entering his retirement, I don't think he'll play modern games soon, the last game he really played was warcraft 2, so he has some catching up to do.)
From the benchmarks I see it looks like, for the same price, the ryzen probably makes more sense, but I was wondering if there is something linux related I should know before proceeding.
I'm not sure if this changes anything, but the build will include a 1tb Intel SSD 600p NVMe and 16GB of DDR4 PC4-24000 (CMK16GX4M4C3000C16) I have lying around.
thanks.
I just realised I have a radeon 7770 lying aorund too, so I guess I could build something with a ryzen 2600X or a core i5 9400f too. Unless the card's age would cause some problem.
