I was in the same boat as you. I built a cheap windows machine with an AMD apu. Go with the AMD if you can save some bucks. It's always good to have money than one pc, if you can afford it.

Brehs I'm at an impasse in my career right now. I'm about to leave the helpdesk but its a dilemma doing so.
Long story: Ive been at a level 1/2 role for the last 5 years with most experience being in software/ system analysis side such as basic MS exchange config, Active Directory, configuring Cisco phones, NTFS file permissions, general helpdesk shyt. I have a small amount of exp with configuring switches and really basic iOS commands and there's recruiter in my city pushing to get me a role as a network engineer here with a $15k raise from my current job.
However, I'm ready to move to Atlanta and in the long run I think I would prefer something on the System Admin track where I figure jobs will be more abundant. Anyone have any advice for someone that has the opportunity to work as a Network Engineer (and eventually Network Admin) vs System Admin role?

Take better role and while in that role look for eqivalent in atl
Why are you in a rush to go to ATL? Is this a full time job or contract? Either way take the job and get experience, ATL aint going no where and coming to the city without a job is idiotic.
No doubt, I cant think of a situation where I'd even consider going there without a job. The rush is because I'm feeling like I'm cheating myself at the helpdesk livin check-to-check, making $50k-ish
when I know I'm worth atleast $70k
.I literally surf the web and watch CBT nuggets all day
, not getting much hands on experience tho 
. I'm in a slower big/little city getting closer to washed status everyday 
...meanwhile a couple of hours away, ATL awaits where its the money
the cars
and the hoes 
my bad for the long post, just feelin optimistic about the future brehs

Imo ATL aint all gonna pay you good unless you have experience to demand pay. Companies know cost of living is lower compared to places like Cali DC And NY So companies will try under pay you unless you have the experience where they know they dont have time to BS you because you are in demand
Indians be writing their code in the most convoluted way possible and then can't explain it because they don't have the English to do sothat also affects their naming conventions.
Lololol Im a BA and when I see how some of our old programs were named and the logic used Im just like
, makes my job harder when it comes to developing stuff for existing functionality because dudes are trying to show off how skilled they are writing complex code for basic stuff.
Is the position really geared toward "Network Engineering" as in routers/switches? I ask because I see tons on Network Engineering job postings that are really System jobs. I find that a lot companies/recruiters can't distinguish between the two.
Any brehs work for AT&T?
This one is fully network admin here's the description:
Yea I agree, some recruiters cant distinguish. Alot of sys admin jobs require atleast some switch and router work so it never hurts to learn
I started out as dsl tech years ago and never looked back. If that fukboi ceo stephenson is still there avoid it at all costAny brehs work for AT&T?
