I've finally put my foot down adn bought a new PC after ten years. Going from a Q6600 to a 1700 is going to be a mind trip.
But now to think about graphics cards. My current rig has a hand-me-down GTX 750 Ti that I got for free to replace my HD3000-something. I know the 750Ti is kinda-sorta supported by Nouveau, but I don't think reclocking is sorted yet? I'm planning to at least try to exclusively use Linux on this new beast, but I may end up having to use Windows in either dual boot or Virtualbox. One day if I'm adventurous I'd like to try watercooling too.
Should I:
a. try using the 750Ti?
b. buy an RX580 for AU$399? https://www.umart.com.au/Gigabyte-AO...rd_38803G.html
c. save up, drain my account and get Vega or something? https://www.umart.com.au/AMD_C.html?...4116-44791.0.0
Rest of the new system:
Ryzen 1700
GA-AX370-Gaming 5
2x8GB FlareX 3200MHz
1TB Intel 6000P m.2
EVGA 650W G3 (I may need to upgrade this depending on the above answer, I'm picking this gear up tomorrow)
Fractal Define R5
