Hardware recommendations for Gaming on Linux

Hello community

I want to build my gaming PC with Linux, but I would appreciate it if you could share the hardware you currently have and what has worked for you, so I can get a guide on what I should buy.

One thing I'm clear about is that the motherboard and processor must be AMD, for compatibility with Linux.

I'd also like, if possible, if the motherboard has a Thunderbolt C port, but if the recommended one doesn't, there's no problem. It also wants to have built-in Wi-Fi, although I know there can be issues with that, so if it doesn't, there's no problem.

Just so you know, my budget is $800, but any amount beyond that is welcome.

I'd really appreciate any information you could share.
