I've just finished my first ever PC! All other PCs I have had up until this point where mostly older office PCs, workstations or just laptops, but I have never built my own.
Nothing fancy, 16 GB of RAM, Ryzen 5 5600, RX 6600. I'll be getting some more RAM soon, though.
Here's a photo comparing it with the Z440 workstation I had been using. And also a photo of the rather messy interior, I am really bad at cable management 😅
Currently running Pop!_OS and it's working very nicely! Very nice not having to mess around with NVIDIA drivers anymore.
@mjohanning make sure to test the RAM clock. You can get significant performance boosts by running RAM at the label clock speed (mine is 3200MHz) but many motherboards make that opt-in in their pre-boot config, and they'll run at 2133MHz instead (for DDR4).
