Linux PC build (2025)

Hello,

it's me again.
Some of you might remember me from this post,
in which I was asking for feedback to build a Linux PC in 2025.

Stuff happened and I didn't went through with it.
So this still my first attempt at a build.
Well now I've got time and want to try it again.

As you may notice,
I've ditched the Z790-9 mother board in favor of a MSI PRO B650M-P.
My dream of building a coreboot-system is officially dead,
thus I decided to build an AMD-System.

Short Listing:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X 4.5 GHz 8-Core
• CPU-Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler
• Mother board: MSI PRO B650M-P Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard
• Memory: Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
• Storage: Acer Predator GM7000 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
• GPU: Sapphire 21323-01-20G Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB Video Card
• Case: Zalman P10 MicroATX Mini Tower Case
• PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 (2024) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
• Monitor: KOORUI 24E3 24.0" 1920 x 1080 165 Hz Monitor

If you notice anything wrong
or have suggestions/improvements don't hesitate to point them out.

Thanks in advance!!!
