Those who custom built their PCs (or plan to), what are your specs and usecases? (lemmy.ml)

I'm half-way through buying all of my parts.

Pretend that my selected graphics card is the Lisuan G100. Because fuck AMD and NVIDIA.

My usecases are playing around with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, small-time Godot game dev'ing, playing indie games, self-hosting (e.g. a Jellyfin instance for my movie/tv show for my LAN streaming needs) and just general browsing lol. I don't intend to overclock, so 600-650W seems fairly plenty.

I had previously struggled with H.265 video formats, my previous setup with the i5 4670k and NVIDIA 750ti were barely keeping up with anything new, never mind newer standards (somehow runs Ghostrunner 2 @ 1080p 40fps in most terrains!). They held their weight pretty nicely over the years though.

Wanted a silent server system for various things; fan noise bothers me, and in trying to rid heat also creates it.

So Monsterlabo case, its all passive heatsink that sandwiches onto your CPU and GPU.

I wanted a silent fanless PSU but they were hard to get here without huge shipping fees...so I picked up and over spec'd wattage PSU for the system as the fan in it only comes on at 30% watt use.

SSDs for silent operation, since harddrive access makes noise.

CPU I5-7400, 16 GB RAM

You never know its on. CPU runs around 35 C, will hit 49 C when processing a video render or other labour task.
