I should get myself a gaming rig, but it's hard to find Linux machines with a decent AMD GPU. I can't put one together myself, 'cause I always mess up putting the CPU on the motherboard and end up wrecking everything.

Can you get one without a dedicated gpu? Then you'd only need to install the gpu yourself.

Indeed, this is probably among the best ways to go if you need a gaming rig but don't want to build it yourself. After all, a gaming rig is an average CPU with an above-average GPU. Though it's also sometimes possible to have a PC be built for you with the components you desire, some shops offer this as an option and will naturally take a bit of extra on top of component prices but you get to avoid the DIY.

Or you can get someone that builds rigs frequently to do that for you.

It's been a while since I bought a PC, but most shops would gladly​ assemble the machine for you. And also advise on the components you may need. Just avoid the shopping center electronics shops. You know the Apple shop types, where they just have laptops and overpriced cables. People there often have no technical skills beyond taking your money. You want a shop that sells PC parts.

Quoting: fagnerlnI changed my distro/DE from Ubuntu/Unity to Mint/MATE, but for some reason in this article still showing my old distro and my new DE (Ubuntu/MATE)
Are you 100% sure, as that should be 100% impossible. They get the data from the exact same source.

Update: I've upped the monitor picker to 10, I'm a little curious if people really use anything more than 3 or 4 on the main machine.

Also, actually noted on the page it is for your main machine.

I see people say stuff like this a lot. I have lived all over the US and I have never once seen any specialty store that sells components. My options are always big box stores like Best Buy or online shopping. Where do you people live that has stores dedicated to building machines?

We've got a few smaller stores in even my tiny home town in Finland that sell both components and brandname computers. Most of them will assemble your box and even install your OS (well, Windows) for a fee of about 40-50 euros max. And even our largest national on-line retailers will assemble your machine and deliver it that way if you pay for the service. I know this is true in many other European countries as well.

I guess US consumers might be more used to buying branded computers, which might explain why Apple does so much better there. Or maybe it's the other way around.
