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.
Coming from someone who gamed only on a steamdeck for a few years (i.e I have no other console or PC) and then switching to a desktop with a better GPU/CPU. I can't believe how easy Bazzite was to install use and get gaming. Simply amazing what this team is doing to make it easy for the average person to get gaming on Linux.
