I’m working on a build list for a Linux gaming rig. It’s my first build so I’d welcome any comments or tips!

I’m mostly looking to run games like the Total War series. I’m not obsessed with getting peak performance, I’m angling more for a reasonable value mid-range build.

Linux support is essential, I won’t buy any Nvidia products.

UK market if that makes a difference.
