[ale] Back to new the desktop question

[Leam Hall]

Well, after a bout of illness that I'm still recovering from, I'm back to this. Here's what I have so far, and the questions that I know of. If I'm missing something, please let me know.


Recommendations so far:

AMD Ryzen CPU (I like AMD anyway)
   - If the 5600G will run the two video connectors on the B550, then is a video card needed?
   - https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-5600x

Radeon Video Card (Not Nvidia), if get the 5600x

Full tower case, at least mid tower
   - Power supply?
   - Quiet fans for cooling
   - Space for SATA drives

ASUS B550 mobo
   - NVMe OS drive (MBR boot)
   - Intel NIC (not Realtek)
   - https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-B550-F-Motherboard-Addressable/dp/B088W7RKVZ

Needs:
   - Case?
   - Power supply?
   - Suggestions on RAM vendors to get/avoid


Thanks!

Leam
