This is based off the “Great tier” AMD build, but I’m waffling a bit on the price. I don’t really know a whole lot about PC specs, but I read this is supposed to be a good long-lasting build based on the DDR5 and something newer in the CPU or Video card. That being said, I’ve only really ever build mid-tier and while I do want something nice, I’m just not sure it’s necessary for me? I tend to stick to Indie titles and the most demanding game I’ve played lately was BG3 (which my current PC has to be on med-low settings to run).
Also, if anyone has a good 22" monitor recommendations I’ll take them.
Looks good. I’d go for 32 gigs of ram though if you can swing it. Also is there any reason why you want a 22" monitor specifically?
The reason this one should last is because ddr5 is new and so is the AM5 socket for AMD. AMD supported the previous socket from 2016-2022 so many are speculating that you should be able to do CPU upgrades for the foreseeable future without having to change the whole platform.
2x22" is what I have already and it fits my desk well and it’s not too much, if that makes any sense. I’m going to also look at an ultrawide physically over the weekend and see how it feels, but i like to snap windows to the sides of the screens and I don’t know enough about ultrawides to know if you can do that easily, haha
Ultrawide monitors often come with extra software to help you enjoy it more like built in KVM functionalities. There’s also window snapping managers on Windows like WiLMa. I’m similar to you though, 2x24" mounted to the wall.
I’ve pulled out an old laptop to try Linux Mint because I’m really over Windows’ whole thing and I just need to get my hands on mint before I fully commit. But thanks for the shoutout!
I can personally guarantee you how nice ultrawide is and beats 2 small monitors every day. I have had one for 6 years and can’t go back. Windows makes it easy to snap left and right.
I use a program called PowerToys FancyZones to divide my ultrawide monitor into 3 equal sections that I can snap to as well. I suggest checking that one out no matter what you end up going with

If you’re using Windows, then get PowerToys, it has FancyZones for customisable window snapping. The closest thing I’ve found on Linux is gTile.
@irasponsible @Suck_on_my_Presence #KDE #plasma5 also has a similar functionality built in
