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?

I'm aiming for something midrange-ish

Ohh thanks! I'll have to check that out! I didn't even think about checking for a game lol

I built my current PC with a friend back in 2013, and I've done some minor upgrading since then, but yeah, most of my knowledge is out the window at this point so maybe this will do the trick :)

Happy to help. Forgot to mention: Make sure to check the difficulty options and disable things like automatically placed cables.

Also, keep in mind that any prices in there tend to be widely out of date. If you want to use this to plan your build, use PCPartPicker to pick out the parts you can afford and then find them or the closest equivalents in this game. The sequel is obviously going to be a bit more up to date.

Thank you so much! I'll have to give it a go!
