A friend of mine time to time carries a torch for changing my system to Linux. I've almost nod to it, while some old games and some of drivers won't work. Few devices require specific soft to be downloaded. That's why it doesn't seem to be complete safety to transcend to a newer system.
Moreover, I hate all those newer and newer upgrade. Where will it be stopped? This upgrade flow turns to craziness, we're changing to rabbits with constantly hungry for carrots. My way is to download soft once and for all. Or, if there's no other optimal route – to solder my own pc using processor's different chips. I've been looking to it. So, if you know any good videos or books (books would be better) about building a medium powerful computer from zero (or some plain level), I (and perhaps many other inhabitants of the best forum in the world) would be totally appreciate your about this.
We don't know what is coming, and be prepared is almost the same is to be a winner. Si vis pacem para bellum.

So possible Chinese involvement. Can never bee too careful these days.

I don't know of any books for building a computer from scratch. But I'm not so sure one would be needed. If I were to build in the near future, these would be my guidelines:
A powersupply of a good brand (like Corsair). 600 watts. (500 watts as bare minimum.)
A CPU with a TDP value no higher than 65 watts, with a minimum of six cores. In which case, you can make do with the stock fan.
32 gb of ram (16 is minimum, but you'll be likely to need more ram later.) Make sure it matches the speed supported by the CPU. For example, 11th gen Intel CPUs can use 3200 MHZ ram.
1 tb SSD and if more storage is needed, get an additional hard drive.
A gpu that doesn't require more than one power plug. This is to keep power consumption down, which also reduces the need for special cooling, and prevents the computer from becoming an oven during hot summer days. If gaming performance is very important, you could get a card that requires 6+8 pins, like the 6700 XT, but then the power supply should be at least 650 watts.
Case should have a minimum of two fans.
Motherboard can be cheap for as long as you don't plan to overclock.
If you ever transition to Linux, AMD gpus are preferred, since AMD drivers are open source.
But I wish to add, that due to covid, prices for computer hardware are currently artificially high, so I would have waited perhaps 1-2 years before buying a new computer.

It's a powerful system. I think that military computers are more powerful. What do you think of fighting against the military computers with the construction of the computer what you have offered? I was thinking about a computer mainly for practical usage, as, for instance, a functional operator, a calculator, an online contact dialer and so on. No doubt the system of yours is able to perform many tasks, but how powerful it is as a weapon? |

I don't think the computer I recommended would be useful as a weapon. It would be able to play the latest games with moderate graphics settings and do fairly advanced video editing. That's about it.
