I'm thinking of building a pc to play a few demanding games (e.g. PEAK, Satisfactory, Stellaris) at 1080p@60. It'd be under Proton/DXVK on Linux.
GPU prices in Australia are kinda fucked atm so that would probably have to be a used card, but would anyone have any advice on what I have so far?
where are you having performance issues?
Honestly, nowhere. I just bought and installed a 9060 and it is fantastic. I was mired in an older kernel with Linux Mint, but Fedora is pretty nice.
My only complaint might be the singular NVME, but adding SATA SSD as a second drive won't be at bad.
Increase your memory if you can. 16 will probably be fine for some time, but who knows what sudden innovation may result in a memory-dwelling behemoth.
