Hello!

I've bought new parts and I am awaiting their arrival so I can build my brand new computer. I've decided to go for Arch Linux with KDE plasma or perhaps Gnome as my desktop environment but that's as far as I've come.

I figured I would ask the community if they have any tips or suggestions, thanks!

Your system will almost certainly get irrevocably broken by something at some point and you'll have to reinstall. This isn't a failure on your part though, it's a rite of passage that everyone goes through at least once, especially if you have Nvidia drivers lol. It'll happen less and less over time the more you learn how to fix stuff though.

Also back up often!
