This is an offshoot build from a past build log that didn't take off. The case size will be roughly the same, but of a new design. It's a design I haven't revealed yet but I hope would be able to reuse and easily refine from.
As the title states this will be for a Linux system. As I'm finally moving into a Ryzen Raven Ridge system, I've ran across the complication that Windows 7 (the OS I'm currently using) will not run on Raven Ridge due to ACPI problems in the BIOS. I didn't just want to upgrade to Windows 10 so I thought why not try out Linux? It's getting easier than ever to set up Linux and use it for gaming. I've started out trying Manjaro from a Live USB, among other distros, and this is the one I've settled on for my build.
The system will be running native Linux games like Borderlands and Doom, and then later will set up non-native games such as Overwatch.
Here are the specs for the build:
