That build should handle 1440p gaming for more than a few years to come.
You might want to consider swapping out the Ryzen 7 7700X for an X3D model. Many games get a significant boost from the extra cache. It can also make game performance less dependent on your RAM speed.
Maybe wait until the upcoming hardware releases hit the market, because those can drive down the prices of the stuff you intend to buy.
Wait like one month for AMD to launch their new GPUs. On the off chance that they don't bungle the launch as usual you might get better value than buying a 7800 XT now.
Wait for one month for the new GPUs to come out, wait for the drivers to catch up, wait for the benchmarks... Or just buy a tried and tested GPU right now.
Bazzite, being a gaming focused distro, probably is pretty close to the latest kernel releases so it could work ok on launch or pretty soon after.
Generally this close to a new launch, if you don't need a system immediately it's better to have wait a bit more.
Get a 2 TB SSD (the one you chose is fine)
The new AMD GPU generation is due to be presented this week, with tests expected in early March. I'd recommend waiting a few days to see the first impressions.
That's a great build, OP! I got nearly the same system running Fedora KDE, at least architecture wise.
I recommend getting an SN850x for your SSD instead. It is not much more expensive but so much faster. Everything I do on my system is super snappy. I even got a close friend also to buy this one and they are super happy as well.
Yes, that hardware is certainly relevant. AM4 platform is still relevant IMO
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. They did specify "upgradable build" so I am not really recommending AM4, just using it as a comparison that the one they have chosen is definitely relevant and suitable
