Arch Linux duel 4k dev rig

[Zedth3]

So my current rig is getting pretty old and sometimes it freezes. I cant really figure out why. But it's over 6 years old so I'm kind of over it now.

 

Under 1,000$USD

Will run duel boot of Windows and Linux

Mostly doing development work with emacs and python and lisp, or intellij and java development

 

I do play games but the most recent game I play is cities skylines

 

Nothing I do is really that intensive

 

I'm running Duel 4k screens

 

I have a Thermaltake Core X9 Black E-ATX Stackable because I over killed it. With a Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 1000W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification and Semi-Modular Cables. That's the only order lists I can find for the current rig. I know it's a RoG with an old AMD black 8 core and 32GB ram, radeon HD 7850? I think, the closed source drivers dont support the duel 4k but the open source does!! But yeah I really over killed my last build. I might turn this into a server until the mobo dies or something.

 

But I need a more realiable rig as this one freezes. I dont follow hardware that much so my coworker told me to post here.

 

Thanks

New Ryzen cpu are expected to drop July 7. It would be prudent to wait for the independent reviews of these new cpu before designing a build.

[Zedth3]

I think the only reason I'd wait for those is a price drop on the old CPUs. And I probably wouldn't buy for at least another few weeks anyways.

in that case something like the following.

Did you forget to paste something? I'm confused

Thanks, I'll take a look. Not sure I'll need a case but looks cool. Wonder if anyone around here knows how the drivers are for that GPU on linux.

It surely is, I thought I was picking the ATX version of that board.  Was done in a hurry, fixed now.
