I am technically challenged, so I am asking for help with this setup

hey guys - can you give me some feedback on this setup?

AMD Ryzen 9950X3D DDR5 ram 16GB (6000mhz) 2TB SSD nvme ASROCK B650M pro RS AM5 4xDDR5 PSU 850W

I count on using my old GTX1070 card on it, until the GPU market settles down a bit.

I like gaming, but also use my PC for image, poster and video editing. Would maybe also like to stream at some point. At the moment i use 2 screens at 1080 but wouldn't mind upgrating those too at some point.

Any thoughts on the actual setup and compatibility to linux?

The guy i am in talks with, in regards to this, has suggested savings by changing the CPU:

9950x (10% lower price)
9900X3D (10% lower price)
9800X3D (17% lower price)
9900x (25% lower price)

What would you suggest?

EDIT: thanks for the help folks! I went with 9900X. Also, it turns out that it has double the RAM. it is 2x16gb. I think it should work alright for me.

Well, with that kind of CPU, I'd reccomend 32GB of RAM, as 16 feels a little weak for such a chip.

Thanks! It turns out that it already did have two of those ram blocks. I just didn't realize! But in the end, i went with 9900X. It should be more than enough for me
