Desktop PC Build

 I wanted to build a Laptop PC, since the component and motherboards are difficult to get landed to build Desktop PC for development activities. After digging through the AMD and Intel processor, comparing its feature and price point AMD is the best. AMD has  -more cache - cpu socket is flexible to motherboards - chiplet design concept - CPU to IO communication is having 16 GT/s - PCIe Gen4 M.2 Socket available - TDP is less - 7nm CMOS comparing to Intel processors. Only drawback i felt is we need to buy a separate graphics card, On Intel it has default graphics card and pricepoint of Intel is higher. Initially shortlisted AMD Ryzen 7 3700X processor, considering price and TDP, but waited for few months for AMD to release 5000 series processor. Finally released and launched in India and availability in market on Nov 5 2020. I got the my first PC build on 9-Nov-2020. Here is the below PC configuration, bought it in sp road, bangalore Installed Ubuntu 18.04, NVIDIA graphics card driver.
