Sorry if this isn't allow on /g/ but /mu/ told me this belongs here.
I've started to create my own music and want to record but have no idea where to start. I downloaded reaper (free) and started teaching myself that but I still need a decent mic and headphones. The equipment doesn't need to last me forever as I'll probably buy more as I get better but I'd like to get the best equipment for the price. I'm willing to spend $100 on a mic and around $75 on a set of headphones.

Here is my build so far.
pcpartpicker com/list/6rByzM

The problem I am currently having is that the Pic related cooler, a H7 Quad Lumi is out of stock everywhere I have looked. Downgrading to the original H7 would mean I would need a "free" adapter from the manufacturer. Everything I have read says they ship very late and the install is a pain in the ass. I have been looking around for other AM4 out of box compatible coolers but I must just suck at hunting today cause I can't find anything in over an hour of searching that gives a definitive answer.

If you want help:
>Assemble your parts list

>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>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 - 144hz only
>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.
Buying used is perfectly fine for budgets (PSU excluded)

>Pic related.
Seriously? What even is this? Every other distro works fine and the most mainstream one that is supposed to work out of the box fails?
Also, Chromium has no problems with this. What is going on with Firefox on Ubuntu? How do I fix this? Thank you.
>Inb4 Ubuntu and Flash player meme shitposting
No really. What do I do?

firing up my think pad
hot chick notices me and my os then come up to me
>Is that ubuntu? I heard only man babies use ubuntu.
Exuce me, but I am using arch linux. The only linux what a real man uses.
>Oh I did not know that let me apologize by doing this.
She starts sucking my dick then we kiss for hours.

Tell me again /g/ why aren't you using arch linux?
