Hello There, I'm a university student and I currently don't have a job. I'm saving money because I would like to build a computer from scratch. I love computers and I want to learn as much as possible. I think that assembling a computer could be an interesting learning experience.
Here's the question: What is a CPU that you would recommend? If possible can you include the SBU of that CPU? I currently own a laptop with a Celeron N2840 and the SBU is 7 minutes. Linux From Scratch has taught me a lot and I would like to run it as my main operating system. What are the CPUs that you suggest? Once I tried to compile bionic libc from AOSP and it caused my PC to lag terribly because of soong's bootstrap. it kept creating children with the same command line arguments that were apparently doing the same thing eating all my RAM (4GB) and forced my PC to use swap. Building LLVM and CLANG with ninja also makes my PC really slow and the process takes hours. It's worse than GCC from this point of view. I'm not an hardcore gamer, as a matter of fact I don't game very often. I usually run GBA emulators, NES Emulators, Minecraft and so on. I don't care of getting hundreds of FPS. All I need is to be able to watch 1080p60 Videos on youtube without lag. Compiling Speed is important to me. Also If you want, you can give me suggestions on other important pieces like the Power Supply or a Monitor. I don't have one yet. If I could I would go without one and control the PC using ssh from the LAN. Do you know how to do that? Sorry if I'm off-topic.
