Discussion PC to daily drive Linux

Hi guys, I am looking forward to build a PC to daily drive Linux. Actually, I'm not building PC to ONLY run Linux, I want to build a machine that is compatible with all systems: windows, linux, bsd. Also, I'm not planning to play games on my future PC, since I'm not gamer at all (maybe minecraft only) So I want to do everything on the PC except playing games. Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600

RAM: 32 Gb DDR5 (2x16gb) 6000MHz CL30

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 (8gb)

SSD: 1) 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD

2) 512 Gb NVMe M.2 SSD

Cooler: DeepCool AG400

Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI

PSU: DeepCool PK650D

PC Case: Montech AIR 1000 Premium

I'm planning to run windows or linux on my first SSD (which is 1 TB) and run some kind of bsd system on other SSD.

I will glad to listen to your suggestions and advices. Feel free to share your experience and suggest something! Budget is unlimited

Note: it's not a final setup, I'm only planning to build it like that, so thing might be changed.

I'd check whether the motherboard's wifi chipset is supported on Linux/*BSD (especially *BSD as from quick reading it isn't supported at all). Maybe consider an Intel AX200 or 210 as a replacement if the mobo has a swappable wifi unit.

Would also see whether the various *BSD's support for the 6600 is something you can work with before buying. Posting your hw list to various *BSD subs could get you more knowledgeable answers.

No worries. Just did a quick edit as it looks like the wifi's gonna be a right pain on *BSD.

I was also thinking about making an Ethernet. But I need to buy a large cable and connect it to my PC 😂

A good choice. I always prefer ethernet although if you've not got a wired house the other half tends to complain about inter-room cables.
