My old 4790k finally died, and I need to replace both the CPU & MB. I was wondering if there would be any conflict in having an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU.

I want to use Bazzite on it. I’m running the same distro on my main rig and I’m very happy with it.

Any suggestions?

    Hopefully they will recover. I want options and only looking at AMD is very limiting.

    I’m sure AMD is not taking any risks these days as they want to keep Intel in the sun.

      Agreed. In the long term it’s better for consumers if there is competition, but that also means being an informed consumer, making good buying decisions and not being blindly loyal to any particular brand.

        I also think used is a pretty good option. Sure some people might need pots of performance but most people would be fine on a 10 year old CPU.

          Yeah, I just recently upgraded from a first gen i7. The performance gain is substantial, but less necessary than you’d think. I’d probably have kept going with my trusty i920 a bit longer if it wasn’t for lack of AVX.
