Advice for a newbie on a kinda budget

Hi everyone,

So I made a post awhile back and the the advice I ended up going with was hey wait for steam machine pricing and make a choice.

I want to make a decent gaming PC. I want to move away from windows. I have a reservation for a steam machine! Buts I assumed it'd be closer to $500! The reservation is for $1200 FML!

So advice part, looking to see if I can build a better machine rig for $800-1k. No expirence with Linux. Last built a PC for myself in 2007 - so let's call that no expirence besides square hole goes into the round peg. But I understand more or less what I'm signing up for even starting from zero.

New to Linux Advice

Ive not had a PC or gaming PC in 15 years. I want to get back into it now.

Im fairly against windows. I'd like to try a Linux system and thought this would be a fun way to get into Linux.

Ive been looking at some black friday sales here Newegg sales

Its been so long since ive looked at PC specs I feel like im completely new. Ive read that an AMD GPU can be easier for Linux so I started there.

So Ive got two questions!

What are some must have specs in you opinion to run most modern games, and would you have a #1 recommend for a prebuilt to get started with?

What disto is best for a total newbie who wants to use it for gaming and eventually transition for anything/everything else?
