My current rig is:

6700xt

1600AF

32 giggle bits of DDR4

1TB NVME storage

I didn't think it was a bad rig but steam games take forever to load, it spins on the steam logo for what feels like an eternity. I use Arch btw.

CPU. Have the same setup, just with a 3060ti and ryzen 9 5900X (Arch btw). More processing power is key. Made my sister upgrade to ryzen 7 5800 and she's loading much faster. Hope that helps.

*Will also note that they go on sale quite often and can snag a good one for less than 300 USD.
