Recently built this PC for the primary purposes of being my control center. A PC is superior than a laptop because of the fact that it is not mobile. Of course, still use a laptop, but a workstation PC allows activities to be centralized. Back in the day, I was a gamer, and having a PC allows me to fulfill that – time permitting – and secondly, this PC will be ready for mining, should I chose to graze those green pastures.
Here is a configuration: -AMD Ryzen 5600G with built in graphics (this allows me to delay GPU purchase) -Asus B550M-A AC motherboard -Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB RAM -EVGA Power supply -Cooler Master MasterBox MB311L Case -monitor/hard-drive/keyboard/mouse (taken from my old PC)
Total cost: ~$600 (monitor/hard-drive/keyboard/mouse not included in price)
