I've been slow to make an upgrade, and figure what better time to switch to linux?

Did what I could to try to research that the parts were all fairly linux friendly, with a warning about the motherboard's wifi7 maybe not yet supported yet by the kernel.

Looking for a mid-high range build without going crazy on the cost. Build actually came in a bit cheaper than I expected, so feel like maybe I'm missing something here.

My monitor, which I'm planning to keep, does have G-Sync, but I don't know that I'll miss it.

PS: I know i can get more life out of my old hardware, but I want to turn that into a NAS.

EDIT: Fixed link.

I don't know what space constraints you're working with or how confident you are at PC building but this will be a tight build. NVME as your only storage will help but I'd be legitimately concerned if that cooler, your video card, and all your memory will physically fit on the board and in your case. That ignores your ability to physically put everything together without breaking anything. Thirdly you're building a small space heater, that thing will run pretty hot under any decent load

Otherwise this is a pretty capable machine that should handle any reasonable tasks you throw at it
