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
So far I would say everything should be good. Your pictures are just missing one really important component, which is the PSU.
Edit: As others have pointed out the CPU is actually an AM4 socket so it wouldn't fit or work with the mobo you have there. Kinda missed that, sorry.
I'll be getting this, thanks for reminding me!
1000w is way overkill for your cpu & gpu. 750w would give you plenty of headroom, honestly maybe even 500w. it's fine if you plan on upgrading to something beefier in the future though
I ended up changing to a 650w, i'll probably change it again to a 750w depending on the price
Cool, that should be plenty reliable and powerful for this system.
