Hey anyone have ideas on this build, or if there is some mess up on part choices

Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL Black - Solid
PSU: Seasonic 1300W PRIME PX-1300 Platinum, modular ATX (overkill on purpose)
Mobo: Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, AM5, 4.7 GHz, 12-Core
cooler: Be quiet Dark Rock 5
RAM: Kingston 128GB (4 x 32GB) FURY Beast, DDR5 5600MHz, CL40, 1.25V
SSD: Solidigm 2TB P44 Pro SSD, PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe, M.2 2280 X2
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB

OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon 22 or something. Haven't fully decided what DE to use.

Rough estimation of 3,400€
 
it looks like a very high end machine. Looks good to me! And yes the PSU is very overkill haha!
 
I would sacrifice RAM capacity for a little more speed to try and get 6000MHz because 128 is a little overkill unless you have a specific need for 128gb. I would also go for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D instead of the 7900X as its a little cheaper and still better than the 7900X
 
Is the graphics card choice solid? If you have Nvidia alternatives, there's a Fedora derivative called Nobara out now that greatly simplifies using their cards - no more direct need for AMD.
 
There are parts that can be swapped to something else just like choosing which linux variant its going to be. Haven't tested Nobara much yet. Only on old system which didn't run it properly.
Besides RTX 30 alone has been so massive disappointment, meanwhile 40x series took samsung galaxy note 7 direction. I don't see reason using nvidia over amd on linux.
 
7900x3d instead. I tried to use 6400 mhz ddr5 but got occasional bsods, reduced to 6200 and it works great.
 
Whole thing is still open to changes. OS is likely going to be Kubuntu LTS. Nobara sounds great on quick look with games, but its update cycle is too rapid with that Fedora large update after every 6 months. Don't want to be fixing audio problems that often.

On ram side I'm aiming mimum of 128GB and very best 192GB 5200Mhz seems to largest as 4x48 available here.
