Hi ,

I will hopefully be building a Linux gaming PC this year. To be honest its the first PC I’ve ever built, so tips would be appreciated. Currently my only game PC/console is my Steamdeck. I will probably install Bazzite, until steamOS is released and works with all the hardware I choose. This is my chosen hardware using pcpartpicker.comfor compatibility.

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X

GPU: Gigabyte Radon RX 7800 XT

Motherboard: MSI Mag B650 Tomahawk

Storage: WD black SN770 nvme 1TB

Memory : corsair vengeance DDR5 32GB

PSU: corsair RM850e

Case: Corsair 4000D RGB airflow

(edit 1) : cooling: Peerless Assassin 120E

I don’t play any online multiplayer games, mainly games like horizon zero dawn , cyberpunk 2077, God of war. etc. Obviously I play on terrible settings on the steamdeck, but would like a decent future proof or upgradable build that willl run with 1440p high settings.

I suspect this hardware is good enough for this, but will it be suitable going forward without rebuying most of the components ?

Any tips about future proofing or PC building in general would be really appreciated.

      I wouldn’t consider an AM4 build for a new PC unless there is a very low budget. But this does not seem to be the case here.

        I mean that’s fine and its nice to have a future upgrade path for the mobo, but reality is that AM4 would also perform great for running all of the games that OP listed and likely future games as well

          Realistically, when the time comes to upgrade the cpu, AM6 will already be out anyways
