Linux PC build (2025)

Hello,

it’s me again. Some of you might remember me from this post, in which I was asking for feedback to build a Linux PC in 2025.

Stuff happened and I didn’t went through with it. So this still my first attempt at a build. Well now I’ve got time and want to try it again.

As you may notice, I’ve ditched the Z790-9 mother board in favor of a MSI PRO B650M-P. My dream of building a coreboot-system is officially dead, thus I decided to build an AMD-System.

Short Listing:

If you notice anything wrong or have suggestions/improvements don’t hesitate to point them out.

Thanks in advance!!!

    I don’t know, I never really thought about that. I had my previous mobo for about 10 years and at that point it was becoming a problem, but for the first 7 years or so it worked fine. After 7 years there would be a new CPU socket anyway, so it would be a good time to upgrade.

    This is my build:

    • AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz 8-Core Processor
    • Thermalright Frost Commander 140 BLACK 95.5 CFM CPU Cooler
    • Asus TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard
    • TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
    • Silicon Power A60 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
    • XFX Speedster QICK 319 Core Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card
    • Lian Li O11 Air Mini ATX Mid Tower Case
    • Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

      I thought it might be a good idea to buy something with firmware-support, since I can’t flash coreboot onto it. But the main reason I want to build this PC is that, my current hardware heavily limits what I can do with it.
