Thanks for the tips. Will look into it.

I thought it might be a good idea to buy something with firmware-support, since I can’t flash coreboot onto it. But the main reason I want to build this PC is that, my current hardware heavily limits what I can do with it.

You are right the build could probably handle more, but I don’t need anything fancy. Anything beats the setup I have now. The monitor is basically just included because I need something with a higher refresh rate, than my current monitor allows.

Thank you for your response. I don’t have many issues on the software side of things. I’m currently using vanilla arch with btrfs and am quite happy with it. I just never build a PC before, so I was asking for some additional tips on the hardware side of things.

Since you have a similar setup. I have a question for you. The motherboard was released in 2023. I’ve read that most suppliers drop the firmware support after 3-5 years.

What I am asking is, is it worth in your opinion to buy this motherboard or should I look for a newer model instead?
