I'll be using it mostly for gaming, possibly self-hosting various things as I think about them. I'd like it to be mildly future-proof, but I'd also like to cut the price down a bit. Right now it's going to cost basically my whole tax refund, and if possible, I'd like to save some of it to further my education.

I'll be using Linux (don't know what distro yet, but that's another post for another /c/), hence the all-AMD build.

Thanks in advance!

Just for future-proofing, I'm gonna stick with the AM5 platform. The advice about getting one with a stock cooler is a fantastic idea, unfortunately I couldn't find an AMD any cheaper on pcpartpicker, plus the cooler isn't too expensive. As far as the storage goes, I just kinda guessed that HDDs were on the way out, and I wanted 2TB in case I got any large games and/or flatpaks with redundant libraries, but I can step that down (so far the only flatpak I have is Space Cadet Pinball lol). So, awesome, good advice!
