Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

just playing games
Depends on a few things, personally I'd suggest spending a bit extra and getting a 6650XT/7600 just so you don't have to deal with effectively being a "beta tester".
Certain older games, especially ones you can't use DXVK with (Because of anti-cheat), can be next to unplayable (For example, Halo: Reach in MCC can drop to as low as 15-20 fps, feels like a slideshow at times), some games crash (Look up recent benchmarks, people are still having issues with some games and crashing).
Idle power consumption is ridiculous for the entire lineup, my A750 is usually around 40w idle, best case scenario it goes as "low" as 35w with both my monitors unplugged.
However, because I do like the card simply because of Quick Sync, if it hard worse hardware encoding/decoding, I wouldn't have even bothered with it, I would've gotten a 6600.
However, overall it'll really depend on what you expect/want out of the GPU.
I almost got an a750 on sale but then it's price jumped up to about the same as an Rx 7600 locally so I went with that for my mini pc.
The a750 is a great card if it's at a good price absolutely obliterates the rtx 3050 and 3060 8gb and is often cheaper. Although AMD has some really competitive offers at that price point like the one I got
I think the intel cards are a good deal. I would personally like the 16gb the a770 has to offer, but if you are sure the games you want to run at the settings you want to run, will work within an 8gb buffer I think its a fine choice.
I’ve got an arc a750 in my Ubuntu box. It works great and I’ve been able to play some games on steam without issues.
It actually works better than the rx570 I had before.
There are going to be games that don’t work or work well but that also happens on amd gpus. Enemy territory has been unplayable for over a year on some maps due to amd optimizations from may 2022 in their drivers. It works on arc. I can’t play et on my gaming pc with a 6900xt but I can play on my Linux box with arc.
