I've been slow to make an upgrade, and figure what better time to switch to linux?

Did what I could to try to research that the parts were all fairly linux friendly, with a warning about the motherboard's wifi7 maybe not yet supported yet by the kernel.

Looking for a mid-high range build without going crazy on the cost. Build actually came in a bit cheaper than I expected, so feel like maybe I'm missing something here.

My monitor, which I'm planning to keep, does have G-Sync, but I don't know that I'll miss it.

PS: I know i can get more life out of my old hardware, but I want to turn that into a NAS.

EDIT: Fixed link.

Yeah definitely don't cheap out on the mobo. Why would you buy one of the highest end CPUs, a very nice GPU, 64 gigs of ram, and the lowest grade mobo? Upgrade the board for the memory compatibility as well. Cheap boards are built poorly, and memory speed is one of the things that suffers because of it.
