High-performance Linux software development rig

[Guest]

Hey there,

 

I'd like to hear advice on a Linux programming rig I am planning to build at the start of this school year.

 

1. Budget & Location

My budget is about 335.000 HUF/ 1300 USD (as of today, 1 USD is 257.2 HUF), and I can't really go higher than this. I am living in Hungary.

 

2. Aim

Programming and software development, compiles in C,C++; running virtual machines regularly (Linux mainly), multitasking, command line stuff, later not-so-basic Linux distros and more customization (i.e. Arch Linux). A few gaming  on low settings (older titles, for example Need for Speed Most Wanted). It will be my main device for every other general usage.

.
I want this computer to be blazing fast, as I am fed up with the really slow computers I had up until now. Future-proofness is also quite important, as I am planning to use it at university (I am going next year).

 

3. Monitors

I have a 23" FHD Dell LCD monitor with D-Sub and DVI-D, but I might add one or two more with similar specs at one point in the future.

 

4. Peripherals

I have everything besides the computer itself.

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

A 15-year old Pentium 4 computer is too slow even for creating this topic..

 

 

Planned components:

Mobo: 54500 HUF/211 USD   MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (qualtiy, stability and most bandwith/lanes are my aims here, are those fullfilled with this board?)

CPU:  90000 HUF/350 USD   Ryzen 7 1700, with stock cooler, no OC

RAM:  43000 HUF/167 USD  G.SKILL 16GB Ripjaws V DDR4 2400MHz CL15 KIT F4-2400C15D-16GVR, no OC of course

VGA:  13000 HUF/50 USD    EVGA 01G-P3-2716-KR GeForce GT 710 1GB DDR3 PCIE

SSD:  40000 HUF/155 USD   Samsung EVO 960 250GB NVMe or Samsung 850 PRO 256GB SATAIII

HDD: 25000 HUF/97 USD   WD Gold 1TB 7200RPM 128MB

 

Case: 36000 HUF/140 USD  Fractal Design Define R5

PSU:  29500 HUF/115 USD   EVGA Supernova G3 550W

 

Total: 330 000 HUF/1285 USD

 

Thanks in advance!
