I hope to buy a split mechanichal keyboard (Leaning towards the Sofle with Gateron Milky Yellows) with the remaining wiggle room. I already own a decent mouse.
Kinda overkill imo. I'm running a 7800xt and a R5 that handles 4k pretty easily.
You can save yourself some coin and get an AM4 socket system and get a step down in the GPU tier. Unless you really need that high FPS on ultra settings of course. But if you can access a similar machine, try playing around with the settings, I've found I can't really tell the difference between a lot of high and ultra, and even bumping it down to 2k. Diminishing returns and all, yada yada etc. etc.
No doubt this rig will handle things without breaking a sweat though.
Looks like a solid linux gaming system in a nice chill case. That 4TB nvme ssd looks extra sweet. Maybe consider a few more $ on the CPU for Ryzen 9 7900X3D which has a bit more of everything? The price difference seems negligible for more cache and cores.
Definitely is a lot of performance at that price. Nice work!
The 12c and 16c 3d v-cache models are slightly slower for gaming because they have an extra core chiplet without 3d vcache, and without fiddling with the system scheduler, you have some losses to inter-CCX latency as tasks are assigned to the second non-vcache CCX. I don't have encoding/compilation needs which are beyond the capabilities of an 8 core.
I figured there might be something like that in the cpu architecture driving your decision and the pricing I was seeing. Thanks for the details.
