Hi, its my 3rd pc build so i'd like to see if there is some kink that I'm unaware of or something else that doesn't really fit.

I mainly used it for gaming in 1440 or maybe at 4k and it will be on linux.

thank you for your time

Echoing the other post, ASRock has had issues with X3D chips, so another manufacturer might be a good bet for now.
My understanding is that unless you win the Silicon Lottery, the AM5 memory driver has issues with speeds faster than 6000 Mhz. Your "sweet spot" for AM5 chips is allegedly 6000Mhz CL30, which can be had for about the same price as the kit you already have.
Also... it's not wrong, exactly, but since you're using it for gaming and not media creation, 128GB is a lot of memory. YMMV; I don't have experience at 4K. It may also depend on how long you expect to keep this machine going: If it's less than several years, you may want to buy less now and upgrade sooner.
That case doesn't seem to come with any fans. Especially since you've got a smaller CPU cooler, airflow will be key. Recommend at least 3, maybe 4 or more.

thank you for your input. the asrock and x3d sound serious.

I'm trying to build a small pc and that case only allow 1 fan for cpu and maybe an extra a few more from the gpu, not sure if its enough
