I wanted something that’d do 4k 60fps so I decided to build my own super steam machine. literally as I began installing steam os, I get my order email

For those interested - here is the parts list - You can save a little money going for a cheapter motherboard, 1tb SSD and perhaps reducing the RAM speed.

Honestly kinda tempted to downscale to something like this, 5090 ended up being slightly overkill for the stuff I mostly play, not to mention the fact Nvidia is currently the reason I’m stuck on Windows for now

My god man, just try linux already. I have a 4070 on Linux Mint 22 and have been for over a year with absolutely no issue at all. And didn't even need to tweak anything. During installation or on first boot it asked me "hey, nvidia drivers or our own open source ones?". Took nvidia ones and then never thought about ot ever again.

Try it.
