Bazzite is amazing, best distro I've used. It works perfectly as a gaming focused distro. I've been rocking it for a year now without issue.

I use Music assistant , an add on for Home Assistant. All managed in the home assistant app and played through my sonos speakers. Its great

this shows the test running temp on test 60°C

junction temp on LACT 74°C

this is when I start the test

when its idle's it will constantly flick from throttling - NO to Temperature(TEMP_HOTSPOT) almost every second

Well that's good to hear, I thought I had a faulty card possibly. Everything seems within normal ranges.

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.

Having a look at the SN850x now, thanks for the tip

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.

I forgot to add this to the above wishlist, Ive added it now, this was the cooling system I was thinking of getting.

Thanks for this, I checked what I had saved as my wish list and it was a CL30 kit . Also I wasn't completely sold on the 4000D it's just the most recommended and honestly I wouldn't know what to choose for a case, so I appreciate the recommendations, I will have a look and report back.

Thanks for the Tip, really appreciate this, I will definitely wait a little while to see what changes in the prices

wow, thanks for the great advice, this is what I need. My main concern with my build spec was the CPU, I've seen mention that the one I chose, wasn't the best in benchmarks, so I will have a look at the Ryzen 9 7950x for sure.

I will also have a look at RX 7900 GRE for the GPU I want to invest the right way now, to not have to spend more later If I'm disappointed with what I've chosen with limited experience.

I would personally like to stick with all AMD, I've had major issues with laptops on Nvidia in the past, so I'm not a fan, although of course I know the best, high end options are Nvidia sadly.

I haven't started looking at gaming Monitors yet, I wanted to pin down a good build to get into, as I have to learn how to build it first, get it setup maybe test on the TV, before diving into a gaming monitor purchase. But i would be grateful for advice in this are also.

for cooling I was thinking of a Peerless assassins 120E , is this a good option?
