Budget (including currency): 30000 EGP Or 1900 USD

Country: Egypt

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080P 144Hz Gaming, Video Editing, Music Production.

 

So, I'm gonna buy a new PC in a week or so. My main question and the thing I'm concerned about is the GPU, I plan on getting a 5700XT and I heard all about the whole driver issues thing that happened last year, do these problems still exist? I searched online and stuff but couldn't find any recent posts talking about this. I'm gonna run Linux and Windows, I found that it runs just fine on Linux, but I'm not sure about windows and stuff.

And is there anything I should change about the parts? or any comments or tips?
Something I wanna point out is that I'm getting an AMD GPU cause I'll be running Linux as I mentioned, and I could go with a 2060 super, but from what I've heard and from my experience Nvidia drivers on Linux are total garbage. I know the case is expensive and I should've picked something else for a build in that price point, but keep in mind that I have limited options here in Egypt, and I already have a SATA SSD, and a hard drive, and I'm gonna be adding more storage down the line, so I need the storage space. I picked a 750W PSU for future proofing, cause I'm gonna be upgrading the CPU and GPU next year.

And thanks in advance.

Been using a 5700XT for over a year now, haven't had any driver issues during that time.

Used a 5700 as daily drive from November 2019 to August 2020 with zero issues.

 

Not denying that some people had problems but AMD driver issues were always more of a pile-on meme than anything else.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
