Hi. Here’s a couple of links and my personal opinion: > **[Supported Graphics Drivers on Linux](https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/Linux/BeginnerLinuxDeveloper/SupportedGfxDrivers/)** > > This page provides an overview of supported graphics drivers for Linux game developers. > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... Its a little outdated… I would suggest going with an NVidia card because I had nothing but trouble with driver crashes, etc. You can see a ton of threads in the AH on this. Also, I was a huge AMD cpu fan, but there is nothing like an i7 Devil’s Canyon right now…for the price. There is a six core that is about 60 bucks more, and its quite nice too. But, you have to use DDR4 memory. Anyway, sorry for the babble, but I would go with Intel i7 DC with 32GB of RAM and an NVidia 970+. Others may have other opinions, but you did ask. ---

OH, and get an SSD for sure… I’ve got an M.2 PCI 4x and it just smokes…along with a Samsung 850… and a plain old crappy 1TB hd. ---

Intel Xeon Processor E5-1607 v3 (Four Core, 10MB Cache, 3.1GHz) , 16GB (4x4GB) 2133MHz DDR4 RDIMM ECC , 2.5 inch 512GB SATA SSD , Nvidia Quadro K2200 4GB , Is this specification OK…? ---

That should work fine… Only thing I might consider is 32GB of RAM. Also, could you hit RESOLVE again… I added a comment instead of replying. Thanks! ---
