  Storage: The 1TB NVMe SSD ensures fast boot times and quick application load speeds.

 Linux Compatibility: All selected components, including the GPU, are compatible with
Linux.

Yes, upgrades and changes can absolutely be made to this build in the future to keep it running
smoothly and improve performance as needed. Here's how you can modify the system over time:

Possible Upgrades in the Future:

1. Graphics Card (GPU) Upgrade:

o When to upgrade: After 3-5 years, when newer games and applications require more
GPU power, especially for higher resolutions or ray tracing.

o How it helps: Upgrading the GPU to a more powerful model (e.g., an RTX 4060, RTX
4070, or newer AMD models) will ensure you can play the latest AAA titles at higher
settings or even 1440p/4K.

2. RAM Upgrade (from 16GB to 32GB):

o When to upgrade: If you start running memory-intensive applications, virtual

machines, or larger software projects, or if you start noticing slowdowns in
multitasking.

o How it helps: 32GB will be ideal for running more VMs, large datasets, or advanced
software development tools like Docker and containerized apps.

3. Storage Expansion or Upgrade:

o When to upgrade: After 5-7 years, when you start filling up the 1TB NVMe SSD or if
you need more high-speed storage for large files (e.g., video editing, big datasets).

o How it helps: You can add another SSD or upgrade to a 2TB NVMe SSD for more
space or better speeds if needed.

4. Power Supply (PSU) Upgrade:

o When to upgrade: If you add a higher-power GPU or more components (e.g., extra
storage or cooling systems).

o How it helps: A higher wattage PSU (e.g., 750W-850W) will ensure stability with a
more power-hungry GPU.

5. Cooling System:
 o When to upgrade: If you overclock the CPU or GPU, or if you're planning to add
multiple hard drives and need better airflow.

o How it helps: A better air cooler or a liquid cooling system could provide better
cooling, especially during extended gaming or heavy workloads.

6. CPU Upgrade:

o When to upgrade: After 4-6 years when newer CPU models outperform the Ryzen 5
5600X, especially if you are doing tasks that demand more multi-core performance
(e.g., video editing or simulations).

o How it helps: You could upgrade to a newer Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 processor, or

consider a newer Intel CPU if your motherboard supports it.

Can these changes be made easily?

 Yes, the components are modular, so you can upgrade them without much hassle.

 The MSI B550M PRO-VDH motherboard supports Ryzen 5000 series and future AM4
CPUs (likely the 6000 series too). So, you can swap out the Ryzen 5 5600X for a Ryzen 7 or
Ryzen 9 processor when needed.

 The PSU, GPU, RAM, and storage are all easily replaceable or upgradeable.

Costs of Upgrades:

 GPU upgrades can range from ₹15,000 to ₹40,000+ depending on the model.

 RAM upgrades for 32GB will cost around ₹4,000 to ₹8,000.

 Storage upgrades can vary, with 1TB SSDs around ₹5,000 to ₹10,000.

 CPU upgrades may cost ₹10,000+ for a Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9.

Conclusion:

You can easily upgrade components as required. This future-proofed approach ensures your
system can evolve as software and game demands increase, keeping your PC relevant for at least
4-6 years. Let me know if you'd like more specific advice on upgrades!
