So, I have a not so unique problem. I want to build a PC with decent power and good Linux support but local parts are hard to get and importing is a mess.

Local shops don't have much

https://www.scanmalta.com/shop/ this is the only local shop with parts in stock, and even they only have 1 amd GPU.

I'm looking for both amd CPU and GPU. At least 16 GB of ram and ideally as cheap as I can. Anyone have any advice to give me?

I'm aiming for something midrange-ish

If local supplies are that limited, importing might be your only option short of catching a ferry to the mainland and stuffing a duffel bag with what you've been able to buy.

!buildapc@lemmy.ca for a link that will work for anyone, regardless of their home instance.

Thank you for the link it seems like a good place to ask about a question I have been curious about.

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Thank you. I provide links so infrequently I manage to forget the format by the next time I need it.

Check if bpm-power.com ships to your location, depending on the item they have decent prices. Based in Italy

Cool, unfortunately both are above my expected budget, I decided on importing. Thank you anyway :3

Continental mainland is what I was referring to, yeah, but I can't say I know much of anything about the Italian market.

[–] sleepybisexual@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

I can't, I'm a kid and at that point I might as well import.
