This is my pc build:

CPU: Intel i5-12600KF 
Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X RGB V2
Motherboard: Gigabyte B760 GAMING X AX ATX LGA1700 
Ram: TEAMGROUP (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 
SSD: Samsung 980 1 TB M.2
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8 GB 
Case: Corsair 3000D AIRFLOW (honestly should have just gotten a bigger one for airflow, but I find that a little heat is usually not really a big deal for computers anyways.)
PSU: Corsair RM750e G

I might just wait awhile to get an RX 9070. I was going to mod Skyrim to make the graphics a lot better and maybe play newer games like BG3. But also it's hard to mod on Linux and I still want the Nexus Mods App to improve https://www.nexusmods.com/app, because it natively supports Linux. (I suck at using Linux, but it's not really too hard to use for a lot of normal stuff and Windows is so shit lately with all the neo-capitalist bloatware and I didn't even care about the lack of privacy that other people complain about. I was even fine using Windows 10 when it was new.) 

 Look up WinAero tweaker to de-bloat your computer

 Your computer can play skyrim and BG3 just fine. Maybe tune the settings down a bit for the latter.

But if I start playing at 1440p I'd need a better gpu. I'm getting a 1440p monitor soon. (I know I can just turn the resolution down on my game if need be. Sometimes I play at 720p so I can get high frames on my 580.)

The GPU can run Anthem on the Frostbite Engine at 3840x2160 4K no problem. ( Yes I like this game and play it probably once a year at this point )

Modded Skyrim on RX 580 8GB

From the looks of the comment section, the guy who uploaded this is also a modder. He says the game lost some performance cause he used the same dedicated GPU for recording. The video is in 1080p which means he was playing and recording at that resolution.  

For a game like Skyrim you only need 30 fps, while this guy scores 45 to 60 under the condition the GPU is rendering frames and recording.

Past 60 fps we don't really notice much of a difference if it were running at 100 fps, granted the monitor has a fast enough refresh rate. 

A framerate we cannot see goes to show when the game slows down, we won't notice it, as games always slow down at some point. 

Since probably the N64 till now Nintendo is famous for running a lot of their titles at 30 fps.

RX 580 Vs. RTX 3050

The comments section for this is mostly wet for the RX 580. It's running the damn games. 

Some people will  point out how the 3050 is better. Shut up. As mentioned the 3050 is not worth the upgrade for the price. 

You have a 580. Use it. You'll get your 9070 eventually but you really don't have to wait to play your games. 

A comment in that video also indicates your drive should be formatted to EXT4. When asked Gemini said

Gemini said:

For playing PC games on Linux, EXT4 is the best, safest, and most recommended filesystem for your main Linux/Steam drive, offering excellent performance and stability, while NTFS or exFAT are only necessary if you're dual-booting and need shared access with Windows, though NTFS can cause permission headaches with Proton/Steam Play. Always prefer an SSD over an HDD for faster game loading, and if you need a shared Windows/Linux drive, exFAT is often better than NTFS, but EXT4 is king for native Linux gaming.

Overclock the GPU

Technically you can google RX 580's overclocked to see how fast the core and memory speed is set. Start from maybe -20 less and stress test it from there. 

Personally I have no fear of breaking any hardware when doing this. It's not like it used to be, the PC will crash if the clock settings are running too hot. Still if you're new to overclocking this guide is solid. 

Regardless if it's an older GPU or a new one, I think people owe it to themselves to overclock that bitch, especially if the GPU is being used for batch rendering or even Ai. 

Yeah but also my gpu is being loud as hell but it might be something else like a cable or screw. I don't think I'm going to overclock unless I deal with the rattling. I don't play Anthem but those suits are pretty sexy.

I am a bit tempted to get a 5050 and I don't really want to get another dusty used gpu, but I think I'll just wait to get a 9070.

 5050 is a total scam. Also dont be a purist and bother with 1440p, 1080p is good enough

I play very close to a monitor and I also think 1440p is way better as I've seen it before on various screens. (although I don't know how this translates for a monitor, but I play close enough to my monitor where they say even 4k is more noticable.)
Also the monitor I'm getting as a gift has better dark black levels as rn I have a cheap VA monitor that has basic black levels ironically enough even though VA is mostly known for just that.

Now that they released the Druid class (and other stuff), I've been playing some Path of Exile 2 again.

 You might like space marine 2 for shooters

Warhammer 40k: Boltgun also looks pretty good afaik.  I've been pushed a lot of Warhammer in my algorithms lately...  There has been some appeal, ngl.

 I definitely recommend SM2 over it, what are your pc specs?

Also do you play tabletop?

If the build is messy, it could be a cable getting rattled by a fan. I would dismantled the thing and clean it out.

You're the "can't do" guy it seems. 

I don't play Anthem but those suits are pretty sexy.

They give us parts and pieces we can mix and match, materials like cloth plastics leathers, metals. decals. We can really make our own unique builds, aside from the RNG versions of weapons. 

I also find I cannot seem to get better rerolls on weapons though the ones I got are very good. Just not gonna happen again.

I just learned, they're going to shut down Anthem in January, from there we'll 180 days, then it'll go offline. 

I'm actually REALLY unhappy about that. Sometimes I get that itch, where I want to fly and blow shit up. Visually it's better than 90% of games. Maybe even higher. Looks better than all of its competitors.

People wanted Anthem to be an MMORPG, but it really isn't. So it was destroyed for what it isn't, but one thing I know, for the people who actually play the game, they love it, and people who would've loved it, won't play it cause they're total lambs when a review hits their ears. Especially when the game is nearly free now. Like stupid cheap.

 RTX 5050 is twice the performance for 250 bucks. It's a decent GPU, better than what you have now, but damn. Look at it. It's the little one in this day and age isn't it ? Like there's a strong sense of dissatisfaction there. It'll look puny in your build, and the other Nvidia guys will laugh at you. Still it will be able to play your games so if you want, it's up for grabs.

Any ones youve been enjoying recently?

Enshrouded has a nice atmosphere, but I've mostly been stuck on my usual games over how they distill what I'm looking for so well. 

 What are your usual games?

Tekken mostly, but also some Crab Champions to channel the hyper somewhere else when the internet connection's janky and a few old console games with some modded for multiplayer.
