https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - Only for select gaming scenarios (ask if unsure)
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.

I'm going to travel to another country where I'll be moving around for a couple years, so the only computer I'll have will be a laptop with no external drives (they'd get checked a lot at borders so I'd rather carry as little as possible).

Now I need to upload a few hundred gigs (up to 1 TB) of files in encrypted containers so if I want to access something I can download it there instead of carrying it with me.

What's a free service (I'm really tight on money and can't afford payment plans) that I can use to upload said files and not have them being deleted or banned for inactivity or for having multiple accounts?

I don't want MEGA because I'll always be afraid it will go the way of Megaupload, and don't want OneDrive because I've already been banned there for inactivity.

Thank you in advance.

One of the greatest GNU/Linux distro's out there, although it's very unpopular. I mean, it doesn't include systemd, but instead uses runit. It's package manager is decent. It's a pretty minimal install. I see no flaws. What do you think, /g/?

It's seriously one of the best distributions out there. If you think otherwise, show me. Tell me one flaw that openSUSE and its derivatives have. I'll wait.
