Mine's not as insane as yours, but I'm content with it.

i7 8086k @ 5.1GHz
Reference 6700xt
32GB DDR4
Louqe Raw S1

Plays everything I need, and I'm dual-booting Garuda and 10.

Out of curiosity, why pick Cachy? Nothing against it, I've just not encountered it until this moment.

Very nice! I haved used garuda before and liked it a lot. I switched from garuda to cachy when I got the 7900xtx as I couldn't update llvm and mesa to experimental versions without breaking a bunch of dependencies to get the gpu working. Cachy already had those optimizations built in and ended up having a lot of optimizations I liked (BORE scheduler, etc) so I have stayed on it since.

Its a newer distro, but has good support and very friendly devs.

Does the change in scheduler help out in CPU-bound games?
