Building a new Gaming PC (midwest.social)

I'm planning on building a new gaming PC in the next couple of months. I haven't done so in about 7 years, so I'm a bit behind the times on hardware. Is there any special considerations you all would recommend when it comes to gaming on Linux? I already run Linux as my daily driver and have a home server, etc, so I'm mainly looking for suggestions regarding current hardware that I would want to consider for my new build.

I haven't done so before, but I'm interested in running Windows in a QEMU VM to avoid some of the pitfalls for certain multiplayer experiences in certain titles. If anybody has any experience with this also, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks for any input you all have!

I don't use a Nvidia card, nor play Starfield, but I've seen some videos explaining that Nvidia drivers 535 don't work well with Starfield. People had to downgrad to 530 or 525 to have it work. I don't know if nvidia released new drivers since, but if you have issues trying Starfield, you can keep an eye on that.
