I'm sitting pretty for a while IMO. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 child) Same CPU, but 3070 RTX and 64 gigs of ram and 4TB 990 pro mvme. Looking back, I bought at the very beginning of the hike, and all because a very good RAM discount. Might change the GPU for something more Linux friendly if prices go down or second hand, but my idea is to have 5-10 years honestly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tja@programming.dev 0 points 7 months ago If you are going to swap the GPU, prices should be irrelevant, as you will get more money for your GPU when selling if they go up. permalink fedilink source parent
