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

There is no mainland to go to, I live in the mainland and its still bad, Italian market is just as bad

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

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