I'm a graduate student studying cybersecurity, and built this computer specifically with Ubuntu compatibility in mind. I use it to work on my projects, which included the use of perf-intel-pt, ptrace and simple tests with multi-party communication. For the time being, I opted to use integrated graphics as it is sufficient for my workflow, but I eventually intend to add a GPU for my own personal use. The i3-10100 is surprisingly quick with 4c/8t and a maximum clock speed of 4.3GHz - I was very happy with it and it has given me little to no notable slowdowns in my current workflow. I might at some point upgrade to a higher model, especially as I expend my workflow, on but I definitely don't feel like I have to as it stands - a Core i3 is definitely more worthy of consideration than it might seem. Of course, based on what you're using it for your mileage will vary. I use another another computer along with this one in my day-to-day work, so I connected a USB switch that moves the mouse and keyboard between machines so I can quickly switch. This works nicely with a monitor that supports Picture-by-Picture (PBP). I was impressed to see how well Ubuntu scales between sudden changes of resolution as I toggle between full-screen and PBP depending on the current use-case. Certainly you can use higher specs if need be, but if you're fine with a quad core and don't do anything graphics-heavy like with me, a list like this represents a great price-to-performance value while still getting quality components and strong reliability. As a whole, I've been very happy with this machine and highly recommend a project like this if it interests you.

I usually play some VR titles, Rocket League, Destiny 2, Risk of Rain 2, No Man's Sky. The process was pretty simple. Installed CPU and heatsink into the Mother Board, as well as the ram, then set it down into the case. Bolted everything down then installed all of the other parts. The strip of lights in the case was from a bulk roll of 5050 LEDs that I cut and soldered the connections on to it. One RGB header goes to the LED strip, and the second one goes to the fan controller included with the case so that ASUS Aura sync can control everything. I also run an Oculus Rift S off of this rig, and it's handled everything quite well. This build could benefit from a newer GPU. I'm looking to probably upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 7 3700x when the 4000 series hits stores and pushes the price down on the 3000s. I chose the AverMedia capture card over the usual ElGato. The AverMedia was on sale, so I got it for a steal, and it's extremely easy to use.
