So, I have a not so unique problem. I want to build a PC with decent power and good Linux support but local parts are hard to get and importing is a mess.

Local shops don't have much

https://www.scanmalta.com/shop/ this is the only local shop with parts in stock, and even they only have 1 amd GPU.

I'm looking for both amd CPU and GPU. At least 16 GB of ram and ideally as cheap as I can. Anyone have any advice to give me?

Also wtf is the motherboard thing. What works wi the what?

I'm aiming for something midrange-ish

For Malta, the closest region for pricing looks like Italy so you'll want to use the Itallian region for parts selection

PS3 emulation alright👍
Also, guessing graphics features like Raytracing isn't a high priority but a bonus if possible?

Raytracing and stuff is a bonus, might try move my mc server from the worlds worst provider to said PC tho

Thanks for the wait!
Just had an emergency to deal with unfortunately

I've got a rough draft of your partslist: https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lgxnsh

I'll have to revise several parts and if you're willing to donate to my Liberapay I'll provide a PDF doc with my reasoning for each part🤗

Thank you for the draft. DW about the wait

A friend picked a similar price build from.Germany with similar specs, might get that
