Hey,
after my last PC build here from ~2016 was successfull, i thought it might be time for an upgrade, as i only upgraded my GPU in the meantime.

Currently i'm running a 1660TI and an i5 6600k.
Specifically also want to replace my case and PSU because they're more than 10 years old and loud and the case is huge (a CM Storm trooper).

I'm not looking for a gaming beast, but rather for a silent PC to do some light gaming on (Rocket League, TF2, and puzzle games like Firmament or Outer Wilds and i don't necessarily need super high graphics settings.
I also work as a computer scientist so i like to have a somewhat decent CPU and enough RAM to get through the day, but i don't need a workstation at home.
I also want to connect the PC to my 3 1080p monitors + my TV, which is 4K, but i am fine just gaming in 1080p on it.

Parts i have been looking at so far are:

• Case: be quiet! Pure Base 600 78€
  
• Mobo: MSI Pro A620M-E 90€ (actually no idea what to choose, i don't plan on OCing, so i just picked a compatible one that seemed reasonably inexpensive)
  
• CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 220€
  
• Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 38€ (With 150W of cooling power this is way overspececd for the 65W TDP of the CPU, but since i want it to be a quiet build maybe that's worth it?)
  
• GPU: XFX Radeon RX 7600 285€
  
• PSU: 650W be quiet! Pure Power 80€ (might make sense to go 750W instead to prepare for a future GPU upgrade?)
  
• RAM: 32GB (2x 16GB) G.Skill Flare EXPO X5 schwarz DDR5-6000 DIMM CL32-38-38-96 Dual Kit 105€ (i want 32 GB for work mostly, and this was among the least expensive, don't know about the importance of memory timings though)

Total: 898€ + shipping once from mindfactory

I'll be taking 2 SSDs and 1 HDD from my current build, all SATA, but i'd like to have the option to upgrade to NVMe.
I don't care about wifi or sound on the mobo (although wifi is a nice bonus if i ever bring the PC somewhere), but i need an ethernet port.

Also the only thing i feel unsure about is whether upgrading the GPU to a 7800 XT might make sense since i have a 4K TV (that also does 120Hz) so i can run games in better detail, but i game so little...

Budget is hard to say, i'd say 1500 is a hard upper bound and if i can fulfil my needs with the ~1000€ of my current suggestions then i'd be happy, but i can upgrade parts if needed.

Also might want to add that i'm using linux. While i have not had driver problems with my 1660 TI, from what i've heard AMD driver support is better (and with the recent retirement of the nvidia driver dev even more so)

edit: swapped the ryzen 5 7600X with the normal 7600 for way lower TDP, which makes me even less sure about the right CPU cooler choice.

You can do something like that with aliases.

you can do

alias customslot1 "slot1; r_drawviewmodel 1"
bind 1 customslot1

and your enable/disable command would then have to realias customslot1, i.e. in your global disable command you'd do

alias customslot1 "slot1; r_drawviewmodel 0"

and in your enable command you'd do

alias customslot1 "slot1; r_drawviewmodel 1"

A theory does not have to be proven, but provable or refutable. If something is by design impossible to refute, it is not a theory.

this wouldn't have happened if menty was head admin
