I'm planning to rebuild my gaming PC (Specs so far: Ryzen 5 7600, B650 chipset, RTX 3060, Dan Case A4).

Yet, I'm not sure which OS it will be. Important features will most probably be:

  • low latency kernel
  • decent hardware support (GPU driver should support the kernel without the need of compiling everything manually)
  • modern looks, rather than a 2003-style xfce configuration
  • still having the freedom to modify and install anything I want

Haven't used it much myself, but Nobara might fit your description. It's optimized for gaming.

Can confirm, been using it for a few months now and it had been the best experience so far. Steam and discord installable on rhe welcome app and even some common steam game fixes.
