Looking for feedback on a future gaming build.

Please let me know if there's a better place to seek information /answers.

I'm planning on finally jumping away from Windows altogether and I've needed to build a new PC for awhile so I've put together a potential Linux build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fhYvQP

I'm planning on running Nobara and using this as a daily driver with a focus on gaming and some future proofing for down the road as well.

I'm mainly curious if there's any glaring issues (besides updating the mobo) with the build, and if there's any more efficient parts I've overlooked. The storage are just placeholders for drives I already have. I was kinda aiming for a budget build ish, but future proofing bumped it up a bit.
