Hello,
I’m finally building my PC. This is a budget build for 1080p (split), 1440p games and some 4k. I’ll be only using Linux.
I want to quickly run through you and let me know if the parts are compatible and it’s a good fit.
My budget is 150K 170k 180k Rupees. (better perf with 15% more budget 9060xt->9070xt + 7600x->9600x (x version is cheaper) + quality upgrades to other components)
I’m buying all online from computertech (they have mostly the cheapest price)
Please let me know if you seen any red flag with following build or any suggestions.
Thank you for your time.

Older build (9060xt) PCPriceTracker Build
I think that machine should handle games at 1440 just fine, let alone 1080. Looks like a nice build!
Good call going with a Radeon for Linux. I have a 9070XT and it runs great! I used to have an nVidia GPU, and while it was fine for the most part, it was occasionally problematic (especially with gamescope)
One thing to check is the power connector on your GPU. If it has a 12V-2x6, getting a power supply that provides the same connector will make things easier.
These days modern NVIDIA cards have no real issues anymore using the proprietary drivers 😇🫶🏻
Maybe when the new VKD3D development will be in place and it actually yields performance improvements for DX12 games.
I was using a 4070Ti until 6 months ago when I switched. It was fine for the most part, but I also ran into a lot of games that would crash in gamescope or have rendering issues. There was also some other 3D software (Orca Slicer and FreeCAD come to mind) that didn’t work well with the GPU. Some software with embedded browsers also had rendering issues and needed certain environment variables set. Looking through the bug reports, the issues were related to nVidia.
Maybe the software and drivers hadn’t caught up to each other yet, but there were enough bugs supposedly related to nVidia hardware 6 months ago that made me want to switch.
I’ve had far fewer issues on the AMD GPU.
I see, had similar issues on my endeavourOS install where I switched the drivers after initial installation (i think it was still 550 or 560) with a 980
But since I freshly installed endeavourOS, using the nvida boot option when i booted from the stick, on my new system containing a RTX 4000 Quadro and of course a newer mainboard, I have not stumbled on a miss behaving of the GPU other than once where it took a bit longer to wale from standby and tty outputing something GPU error for a short time.
I must confess, I have not a lot time to game, but have now a 1h on cyberpunk and 1h beamNG through proton And weekly a meating using kmeet
And of course information from my various YouTube channels featuring Linux news content
I think a lot of it depends on use case and other components. I use KDE Plasma with Wayland, and have a 32:9 monitor. For games, I want to play at 16:9 or 21:9, so I use gamescope to reduce the aspect ratio. It’s likely that if I had a “normal” monitor, many of my problems would have disappeared.
I initially bought the nVidia GPU after hearing how far the drivers have come, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much did in fact work. It’s really too bad that I did run into enough annoyances to need to switch back to AMD.
Cyberpunk must run really well on your machine! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you very much! 🫶🏻
Do you think current parts will work if I only switch graphic card from 9060xt to 9070xt
Yes. If you have room in the budget, I recommend it 😈
Yeah, I can survive. I guess it’s 1.8x perf for 25k more.
