Mobo has it onboard. But im looking to see if a EVGA GeForce RTX 3050
is Linux Mint compatible.

Optical drive...?

DvD RW

Wahooo the computer case came undamaged.

Don't know about Mint, but I have two Linux systems using one, so it's definitely Linux compatible.

Got the SSD in today.
Ordered a different CPU water cooler. LOL the seller gave me a bs UPS tracking# showing the package was delivered " November 09 at 3:05 P.M. at Met Customer "
Called the driver (i know him) and he hadnt been to the farm.
Now they say it was a misunderstanding and it will be delivered on the 10.
im having sum fun spamming there inbox with stupid questions about the other stuff that they got for sell... E.G. Can i get a 10% discount if i buy 500?

While waiting for the mobo i decided to add wiring harness sleeve tubing to the power supply wires.
