I'm planning on finally getting a Gaming PC but I mainly have two questions (hexbear.net)

After having a good talk with a few folks, I've decided to buy a gaming PC and build it myself. I have everything I need, including all of the necessary equipment and accessories. I don't want to buy anything from NVIDIA because of some of its controversial decisions, its drivers' poor performance on Linux, and its high price. I'm going full red (AMD). Keep in mind that I will not be using Windows on this PC at all and will be running Pop OS on it as my primary operating system. I am also buying all the parts from Bestbuy. My budget is not to go completely over $2000

Two questions

Will everything work properly with all of the PC accessories I'm getting, and is there anything I should replace? (not including the CPU or GPU)
Do you think it will be enough with three fans, or do I need five for extra cooling?

The current price for everything is $1716.78

Noooooo!!!!! Your motherboard is not compatible with CPU and RAM. I will edit this post once I have formulate my reasoning, I want you to hold off buying this system based on ptevious comments

I didn't even notice they had an AM5 motherboard in there. Yeah, you'll have to at the very least switch that to something else.

An AM4 motherboard is ok and cheap but entirely un-updateable. If that is ok go with it queen but if you want tonfiture-proof your system you should go with an am5 cpu, mobo and ram.
