Hey everyone! I'm looking to build a new PC after about ten years and I've decided to switch from Windows to Linux. I've put together a build on PCPartPicker and I'm looking for some feedback or suggestions. I have a Fractal Design Define R5 case that I'm planning to use, so I'm flexible with that if necessary. I mainly play single-player games and I'm aware that not all of them work on Linux, but that's not really a concern for me since I've been dual booting and not using Windows much for the last three years. I'm not into flashy RGB setups and prefer a minimalist look with the tower hidden away. My budget is around $2000 USD. Here's the list I made: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b3DKrM. Thanks in advance for your help!

Your build looks solid to me! I haven't kept up with the FSR4 situation on Linux since my card (7700XT) doesn't support it, so I've been using XeSS for games that need it. If you're not planning on showcasing the tower, consider saving some cash on the case. Have you thought about what Linux distro you’ll use? They should all perform well on that hardware!
I'm thinking of sticking with Mint since that's what I’ve been using, but I might try Pop!_OS for this build.
