I know this is a very old setup, but what would be a similar tier-ed upgrade? I dont usually game, but I do design work, so i think an i7 is a must.

I just taught some guy at the Debian forums the correct way to install it on this platform. He was making it much harder to install than it had to be, had two lengthy posts where he outlined what he had done, still couldn't get it figured out and 1337 as they think they are there, not one of them knew anymore about it than he did..

I've used Fluxbox on FreeBSD for years and had just set it up on Kali, which is based on Debian. I gave him my menu, suggested he install 3 programs I use, log into a Fluxbox session and back out to generate te ~/.fluxbox directory, copy my menu into his and he was ready to go. Open the menu at the desktop and there was the text editor, file manager and terminal emulator I suggested he install ready to do business.

They hate me there. I love them all the more for it, in a drive-by fashion where I'm gone before they get a shot off.

Agreed, the default install is way too complicated. I used to just populate my menu items with a text editor and that's it.

You sure your RTX 3080 has 16 GB of VRAM? Ive only seen 10 and 12 GB GDDR6X versions.
Other than that, nice specs :)
