wfh , 5 days ago Linux or Windows? As for your questions: this CPU will be fine for years for absolutely everything except AAA gaming. On Linux, 16Gbs of RAM is fine. As other said, prefer 2x8Gb instead of a single 16Gb. 250Gb of storage is very cramped by modern standards. I would go at least 512Gb. Buy your SSD from elsewhere, it's much cheaper. maybe grab an extra USB-C in case you need to plug an external drive while charging your PC.
