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.

    Also dont plug in displayport or hdmi cable into motherboard.

    I’m very new to this so want to get it right, why is this not good?

    also fortunately where I live, I have had only one powercut in 10 years but I have surge protection on every outlet extension.

      Sorry just woke up (holy smokes theres so many new comments maybe this was answered). You want to plug it into the gpu. Its a common/uncommon mistake new people do. But hey have fun when you get all the parts! I hope all these comments help, its been a while since I have last built a computer.
