I have an Nvidia GPU, should I get an Intel or AMD CPU?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nah, anything will work fine.
Just a quick question, are you sure it’s the cpu that died? Those ivy bridge (?) chips really seem to last. I’d be surprised if it was the cpu and not the motherboard or power supply of something.
You have one of the nicer fourth gen chips. It would probably be worth it to take it to a computer shop or something and have them try to boot it with a good board.
If it’s still kicking, those motherboards are cheap as heck. The ddr3 is cheap too.
No reason not to keep it around to run a file server/seedbox/Jellyfin server/whatever.
