Sorry for necro'ing this thread but I just had the VRM on my Aorus b450m DS3H fail catastrophically. I was running a Compute workload on all cores on a stock 2700x and it did take several months for the VRM to melt down even with no over-clock and a Hyper 212
 
FYI - to get lm-sensors working under Linux for any Gigabyte (and a lot of others) you will need an updated it87 package for lm-sensors to get the kernel driver working. You can find one that works here so you can monitor the sensors. PM me if you have trouble getting the /etc/sensors.d/ .conf file working

Every gaming handheld I’ve ever owned has come from some big Japanese company – But these didn’t. What are they, and can they possibly be any good?

Like a kid in a candy store

By installing Lubuntu and Midori you can breath new life into old hardware.

There are some nice games on Steam that would probably run on your machine:
Baldur's Gate series Oxygen Not Included Rimworld Left for Dead Borderlands
Make sure to double check the requirements on the store page before getting any of them.

As for myself, I went over to Linux 4 years ago, I have a 5820 @ 4.1GHz, 64 GB of RAM at 2666, M.2 NVME, SSD cache, SSHD RAID, Vega 64
I could easily have fit Windows into that budget but at even $1 I would feel I was paying too much for that bloated mess.

Microsoft has bought a platinum seat at the Linux foundation, GIThub and are incorporating Linux more and more into their products. Even they know Windows is terrible. I think either way in the next 5-10 years people will be using Linux just with a Windows skin.

As long as cost is not a factor. mid-range, I think you can get more bang for your buck with AMD, however, no point in the OP changing motherboard, that would void the value of going with AMD.

Word of warning: I am not impressed with MSI build quality, for example, I took my graphics card out of the motherboard and the port came with it. Instead of being soldered in, there was a set of clips holding it in the board. That was a $300+ board.

Thanks. I think the router in the loop is a gigabit one and I am using Ethernet. I think the screen scales okay if that is necessary but I hope not as I do want to impress them into getting a PC rather than the next generation of console.

Take the internals out, make a new enclosure for them, and mount them to the back of a regular monitor.

Well ... Nvidia ... I can agree.
AMD? I think they would be more responsible with something like this.
