The quirks still lie in proprietary non standardized peripherals, so if you're doing audio engineering or using something enterprise-y there be dragons.
Edit: mostly, the only obstacle to building a pc now a days is just making sure the parts work with each other (chipset + CPU, parts fitting in the case, etc). Pcpartpicker is an amazing tool. Also, solid state drives are amazing! If you haven't experienced one yet, it's 1000% worth the money to buy a good one.

Pcpartpicker can handle making sure parts will fit and are compatible with each other. As far if they work in Linux I can't comment.

What do you plan to do with this computer?
Some Linux people here upset I said nvidia GPUs aren't the most reliable I see lol. For people getting into Linux and aren't experts there are some distros that just don't play nicely with them and how is someone who is new to Linux to know which distro is the best or not? Especially with various hardware components? I think the LTT video is a great example of people who have some experience with Linux but committed to it full time and documenting their challenges. There's several linux reaction videos to this series and even they admitted the same challenges they ran into.
That being said, run your build through PC Parts Picker to identify potential problems and then run searches for your parts and a qualifier like "(your chosen distro) problems."

This is a decent CPU. Keep in mind this cpu only supports PCIE 3.0. But the jump from PCIE 3.0 to 4.0 isnt much, maybe just a few frames. Performance is pretty close to the 5600. I have both cpus and not seeing much difference.

And Ryzen 5 3600X is about $65 at Aliexpress.
For me, this Ryzen 5 5500 got to be $59.99 or cheaper to make sense.
Interestingly enough, AMD may not give the generational improvements with each series for long as they lost Jim Keller. Wherever he goes, the lead in semiconductors follows.
If you have a PCIe 4.0 main board and Video board, think about paying the extra for a R5 5600x:

Oh, and if you have Microcenter, this chip is $80:

One reviewer explained Zen 5 spanks in server applications. The non-x3d chips are failed epyc chiplets passed on to the DIY market. A sound business strategy but we'll see if it works.

Seems to do everything I need fast enough, don't think I will really gain anything with it.
