Hey, it’s my first time building a PC from scratch and I wanted to make sure I’m doing it correctly before I buy everything. So far I’m looking at these:
Micro ATX Case
Gigabyte B360M DS3H
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BKK2CH5/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1
The Motherboard says it supports 8th Gen Intel CPU’s, supports DDR4 Ram, 6 x SATA 6GB and 1 x M.2 Connector.
Intel Core i5-8400
1 x Corsair 16GB 2400Mhz
WD 1TB Hard Drive
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB
For the power supply I checked using this calculator https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator and it came out as 266W so I was thinking of buying a 350W PSU to allow me to add or upgrade a couple of components.
I’ve also read on the motherboard reviews that someone has difficulty with Linux, does anyone have any ideas about this? If so is there any Micro ATX boards that people could recommend for Linux around a similar price.
Do I need to purchase some fan or cooling for the processor itself that sits on top of the processor?
The Case I’m looking at comes with 2 fans, do you think I would need any more?
Thanks
