Is it okay to ask for help in building a Linux gaming PC?

Only advice I got is to stick with amd graphics cards, because of the drivers. And maybe use Debian based distributions, as they are the most common and therefore easiest to trouble shoot.

If you have the extra cash, get a small ssd (~500GB) to install windows on, for games that use anti-cheats that don't work on linux. That's how I did it

I've used a Fedora based distro before so I know troubleshooting there. What I need are specific parts. In the price range of 0-1.5k€ (including delivery)

Sounds like you are asking someone to be your personal shopper.

Maybe it will be better to present a build and ask for someone’s input on a potential build.

Yes someone to pick me a build. I'm a noob with hardware. I've saved up money for months and now I want the most bang for the buck...I'm sorry if that's unfair to ask

Look into AMDs Ryzen 5800X3D and RX 6800XT. Both last-gen but good gaming performance and value.

I recommend this guide. It's in German, the prices are in €, but it is a good recommendation of parts for different budgets and up to date.

If you stick with amd cpu and graphics, you can easily install the steam deck OS which is based on Linux and work’s exceptionally well. And I may add that it’s always ok to ask for help :)
