You're planning a PC build with a focus on performance and flexibility. With your current budget, consider prioritizing essential components first. A mid-range CPU like the 3100 or 3200G offers solid value, while a Gen 3 SSD will improve boot times and storage speed. For storage, a 3600 Gen 3 SSD is a good choice if you need more space without breaking the bank. If you're ready to upgrade later, a NVIDIA 1080 graphics card could work well for programming and Linux, but ensure it meets your future needs. Since you mentioned a budget of $400 plus $200 left, aim for a balanced setup that fits both immediate and future goals.

Consider using strict between Gen 3 drive and a 3600 MHz clock. Otherwise, Gen 4 won’t help much. Planning a build?

You have a total of 600 available for CPU and hard drive, plus an additional 200 needed later this month.

What about the workload? For someone just starting out, the 3600 and Gen 3 drives, as well as Gen 4 drives, aren't crucial.

Lots of coding and a bit of gaming in my life. I was wondering if the cheapest CPU that supports Zen 3 would be a good choice for me? What do you think?

You have the option to proceed or wait, but you'll need a BIOS update for Zen 3 on this board. Since it lacks a BIOS flashback feature, you'll either need a Zen 2 CPU or visit a store to get an update.
