Firstly, don’t think I am loaded here this is an ideal list that I will chip away at over time - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xVL9kf

I am looking at getting a fractal desigm north xl second hand, I presume there is no danger in that other than standard non new concerns.

Are case models universal or will I need a specific motherboard and then specific cpu/gpu etc.?

    I am on linux with AMD, too. but I used my old GTX1060 for a while and in my experience it depends on use case, distro and budget. So what are you going to use the system for?

      Gaming, I want to move from console gaming. I will also use it for streaming movies and such but anything that is gaming capable will handle plex or jellyfin.

      I am looking at bazzite I think, I am about to try it out moving from mint.

      Budgetwise it is all top tier at the minute and aim toward it over time, there are bits I can pick up like SSDs and memory and the case and then get the most suitable cpu gpu when the time comes to commit.

        Then I see no issues with an AMD Card. There are some edge cases I know about where nVidia seems more suitable due to their drivers/software support. But to be honest, I don’t do high end gaming, so there could be things that nVidia generally does better than AMD, independently from linux.
