IMO that's totally fine. I just built a new rig to use for programming |
| 21 |
and some "light" gaming and it's not even that good. My specs are AMD |
| 22 |
Ryzen 5 1600 (6 core, 3.2 GHz) and 16GB RAM. |

This replaced a rig that was 7 years old that had a better CPU (Intel |
| 25 |
3930K) and more RAM (32GB) :D. |
