My 10 year old custom built computer is crashing a lot. I would like to use parts of it so I'm not blowing tons replacing everything.

The link for pc part picker has my current case, power supply, and CPU cooler which should all still be good to reuse. The other parts in that build are just ones I picked at random so are totally up for change.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would prefer to keep it under 1000 CAD. If you want to see my actual current build I will put it in a comment.

Edit: I am running Linux Mint Cinnamon as of now. The PSU was replaced in 2021

My only other suggestion beyond the GPU is the ram. 4800 is about as low as you can go with DDR5 and the kit you picked is CL40, so really aiming low with that. 6000ish is generally the sweet spot for the Ryzen CPUs and CAS latency closer to 30 is desirable. This Teamgroup kit is better all around and only a couple dollars difference or you could save a few bucks and go with the Patriot Viper kit which is pretty much the same thing. I'm not big on Patriot's styling usually but they generally have very good prices for similar specs.

Edit: Almost forgot you added you're on Linux now. I'm not well versed on the subject, but generally AMD GPUs are preferred for better stability. May want to look into that before you decide on one.
