I have been wanting to build a desktop for a while now, but I held back because I plan to move overseas in near future, and build it there, which I know is the right thing to do.

But I have spent ~24 hours in last 3 days researching specs and right build for me. I “need” to know :p. If I act on it, I’ll have to sell the new monitor, tower case, power supply (the bulky items) just after few months of use, once I move overseas, only taking remaining parts with me.

This sudden hyperfixation is crazy. Have slept just 3 hours today (when my body just gave up and shut down). Just thought I’ll share.

    Just as a sidenote: I would consider getting a used mini-PC with proxmox for the servers. The energy saving alone will pay for this.

    Gaming PCs are incredibly energy consuming compared to a mini PC and Jellyfin,etc. doesn’t need much resources.

      I just got a new completely unused nuc 7 off eBay for about £110. Ill be running running quite a few services off of it, all at under 20 watts.
