I need to buy my new PC. I might have the money, but I have no idea WHAT to buy (as for where, I guess LDLC ?)
Please help me, geeks of the Fedi !

What I need :
- plays well with Linux Mint (my first time on Linux), zero Windows on it
- can run ARK:Survival Ascended (pic 1)
- can run Paralives (pic 2 ; fairly sure ASA covers it anyway)
- looots of harddrive space
- built to last (10 years ?)
- needs to be bought from a馃嚝馃嚪 place that will deliver it to me

Send links & advice.

LDLC has a configurator I've been looking at, but I am not remotely computer-literate enough to make good choices on it.

https://www.ldlc.com/configurateur-pc/

What distinguishes this motherboard from that motherboard ? What's a good ventilator ? Why does it take being such a f*cking brainiac to buy a PC ?

How am I supposed to know what piece works with what piece ? I know from overhearing people on the internet over the years that these things are way more intricate than just "buy the best one you can afford", I just don't get them.

(also the configurator doesn't make sense to me... you mean to tell me that I could buy a custom gaming PC, but I can't choose how many USB slots on it ?)

My current PC has last me a decade, and I won't be able to spend money on a new PC for at least another one. So this needs to last.
Of course I'm well aware that after a while, an old PC doesn't play newer games. But the idea is to have something that's not gonna be in that situation in 2 years, you know what I mean ?

Also I'd love to finally attempt to mod, if I can. My current PC never digested the ARK:Survival Evolved devkit, and is in pain in Blender ; so I never even got to TRY to learn.
