Hello,
I want to build a PC with Gentoo and I need to know how much money
should I spend on it.
To clarify, I'll tell more for what I'm going to use PC:
* computer will be mostly used for programming in languages like C, C++,
sysadmin, and testing stuff in the LXC, Docker containers, virtual
machines,
* I'll program mainly desktop applications using ncurses, wxWidgets, and
embedded,
* I'm completely not interested in doing computer graphics nor gaming
(either playing games and creating),
* computer will also be used as Gentoo binary package server for my
other machines, including server, and general for compiling stuff on
Gentoo so the number of cores and threads is very important for me,
* I don't ever plan do any dual boot with Windows, I'm going to install
Gentoo on PC once and use it,
* I don't want to have Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU, only AMD CPU or GPU,
even integrated Radeon will be okay for me,
* after I buy PC it's possible that I'll want to upgrade RAM up to 128
GB (I won't need more than 128 GB ever, I think),
* it's very probable I'll want to add one or more HDDs with capacity >=
4 TB, connected by SATA,
* motherboard should have many USB ports, even better if it would have
USB 3 and a few USB type C,
* I'm going to work on three monitors displaying tiling wm with my
workflow based on tmux+neovim+qutebrowser+neomutt etc.
Can you recommend an example PC configuration that will meet my
requirements? Will PC with AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and motherboard with
installed 64 GB RAM be fine? This cpu supports up to 128 GB RAM and has
integrated graphics and isn't too expensive for me.
Thank you,
