Hi, I am looking to build my first PC. It will be for general use (web browsing, programming, office work; no gaming).
Here is my part list: PCPartPicker
I based it on the Logical Increments minimum tier. I will be using Arch Linux for the OS.
Some questions…
- How painful is it to update the motherboard BIOS?
- Am I missing anything obvious? I’m unsure if I need a sound card, for example. Newegg says this motherboard has a wifi and bluetooth module. Is there anything else I should consider getting?
- Is there a way to check if any of the parts will not work/be incompatible with my chosen OS? I’ve never had a problem with Linux drivers on any of my laptops, so I’m fairly confident it will be fine, but I still want to make sure.
Thanks :)
Edit: I made an updated list based on your suggestions New updated link
Thank you! This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I will double the RAM.
