Will Bazzite Run Well on This PC? (self.linux_gaming)

I'm looking to get a gaming pc. I mainly want to use it for emulation of PS3 and Xbox 360 and lower. Would also use for modern gaming some too. I would like to load Bazzite onto it so I can be on Linux and use a steamdeck like interface.

I'm looking at the second hand market and I see one with these specs:

Ryzen 5 2600 Evga GeForce GTX 1660 ADATA XPG 16GB (8x2GB) 3000mhz MSI B450m pro-vdm max 500GB NVME M.2 + 1TB HDD Thermaltake 650w 80+ Bronze Coolermaster q300l v2 mATX Case

Would this PC work well with Bazzite and run PS3 games well?

You don't necessarily need Big Picture mode like on the Steam Deck, in fact i think your current Nvidia card might have issues with it https://docs.bazzite.gg/Handheld_and_HTPC_edition/Steam_Gaming_Mode/ You could use another distro like Fedora, install Steam and just set it to launch in Big Picture mode
