I was originally looking at an AMD 9700X CPU and an AMD 9070XT GPU. I was going to go with an AMD GPU since their drivers supposedly play better with Linux, plus the Nvidia 50 series seems to be a letdown performance wise. The more I'm looking though, the more I think I'll be waiting until this time next year. Zen 6 is expected late next year as are GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia. One thing I won't be waiting for though is ditching all the Lian Li fans. My system has 9 ST120 fans and I've had 5 fail. They seem to be garbage.

You and me both, brutha. AMD GPUs work better on Linux.

I'm looking at soon-ly upgrading my system to a AMD 5 9600X and a RX 9060XT 8GB.

Just got done setting it up. I know the cable management is like sh!t rn, but I'll get on that. Right now all I care is that it works.  

AMD Ryzen 9600X

AMD PowerColor RX 9060 XT 8GB (Thanks to @hellowalkman)

Case is that cheapo one off Amazon

PSU is a 1200W Thermaltake (had it over from an older system)

Kingston Fury 64GB DDR5 6400

2x (will have 3 soon) M.2 NVME 1TB (What I'm using these for, no idea yet)

2x 2.5 SSD WD Blue

I'm running Debian Testing (Forky), If any of you care.

nice. what's the use case? 

those parts don't require a 1200w psu, right?

As for the RX 9060 XT 8GB, I don't game that hard.

I needed the previous Ryzen 8600G for something else.

Do I need a 1200W? No, but I had it on my shelf, collecting dust. I did have a 650W Corsair. But the cables were too short for this kind of case. So, just why not..
