After having a good talk with a few folks, I've decided to buy a gaming PC and build it myself. I have everything I need, including all of the necessary equipment and accessories. I don't want to buy anything from NVIDIA because of some of its controversial decisions, its drivers' poor performance on Linux, and its high price. I'm going full red (AMD). Keep in mind that I will not be using Windows on this PC at all and will be running Pop OS on it as my primary operating system. I am also buying all the parts from Bestbuy. My budget is not to go completely over $2000
Two questions
- Will everything work properly with all of the PC accessories I'm getting, and is there anything I should replace? (not including the CPU or GPU)
- Do you think it will be enough with three fans, or do I need five for extra cooling?

The current price for everything is $1716.78
I am begging on my hands and knees for one, JUST ONE mouse where the sensor in the wheel does not go out of sync with the physical clicks and capture double / reverse / nil inputs arbitrarily. I've gone through like 5 mice from different brands where this shit happens.
You can clean hair/dust from the encoder or even physically replace it if you can solder.
I don't think I've had a single mouse in the last 15 years with that problem. Do you have a lot of pets? Their fur is really good at getting into mouse wheels and you just have to clean it out.
