Is this build good? I will just use it for normalfag stuff (web browsing, movies, music) and maybe a couple of not very intensive games. Do you think I should ditch AMD and get something by Intel? I'm short on money, btw.
I'll be running loonix on this and this will be my main (and only) computer. I need the hardware to run well, and I need to know which linux distro has proper drivers.
I used Crunchbang for quite some time but it's abandoned now. Should I install Debian or go with Slackware?

Post feet
bamp
would go for 350W seasonic poewr supply if available for reasonable price
SSD

>Power Supply
Yep, I'll change that.
>SSD
why, though? Is the difference very significant?
wtf, /g/
Still waiting
Go with an i3-6100 some cheapo ddr4 ram and mobo will do
The PSU is fine if your not overclocking
It's overpriced, here's a better value build for $195:

The difference between 1866 MHz and 2133 MHz RAM is like 2 more FPS. Not really worth it.
Do the build and save up for a $100 R7 360 as soon as you can, it's the best value GPU imho.
>>55027343
Fuck off you intel shill. Take your shitty intel graphics with you too.

Holy fuck, thanks.
Do you think there will be issues with drivers on Debian?

Can I get some opinions on this build? I'm trying to keep it below $1250 USD so would AMD be the way to go or would it be Nvidia here? I'm also trying to have a computer that can run most everything for the next couple years. Can this do it?
>>55027454
Unlikely, debian has improved driver-wise in the latest release especially with APUs.
>>55027491
That was my biggest concern. Thanks.
>>55027364
The integrated graphics was Intel's biggest improvement in Skylake.
>>55027476
why would you not just wait for the 480 to come out and snag the 8gb version?
you would be saving $100 right there.
I'm absolutely sure that a 750W PSU is overkill, doubly so if you do wait for the 480.
also, it is worth being honest to yourself; are you going to overclock? If not you can save a few bucks buying the non-K version.
Your build sucks for $250. Here's a better one:

Single threaded performance is more important than multi-threaded, but an i3 still has 4 threads so the more intensive stuff won't crash. A stronger iGPU is unimportant if you aren't doing light gaming, and even then the skylake iGPU is fine. You didn't even include storage, so I threw in an SSD just in case. The included Cooler Master PSU isn't the greatest, but without a dedicated GPU this build consumes almost no power so it'll do just fine. The SSD will be much more noticeable.
>>55025626
This cooler master case is better.

If in need of more horsepower, throw in a second RX 480. The PSU and board can handle it no problem.
