So, I’m planning my next computer purchase, and lately I’ve wanted to play some simulators and such which at this time just isn’t great on Linux along with software like OBS and stuff are all spotty on Linux so my thought is to buy a pre-built gaming computer, any suggestions?

I also want a capture card and sound card so that it can become my “broadcast” computer. Also if anyone wants to donate to the cause, just let me know 😛 my plan is to start doing a weekly video again once I am able to purchase the new computer.

This may be ahead of the game but it may be a few months before I am able to get it.

Good things take time don’t they? What was the total build cost?
