Oh yeah, to be clear I don't think Macs can't be good gaming machines, it's just that it doesn't seem to be heading that way right now.

Windows has one major thing going for it: it’s best-in-class for gaming. It might even be the greatest gaming platform of all time. Linux and even Mac are gaining ground, but they’ve got a little ways to go.
...is Mac gaming actually gaining ground? From listening to a friend of mine who has a Mac, it sounds like Mac gaming is going steadily backwards. Wine and similar doesn't work very well for them, and Mac compatibility is happening with fewer and fewer games. Game Porting Toolkit isn't really for end users, is it? Is there something else my friend is missing?
Noveau is terrible for gaming. If you want any kind of reasonable gaming experience you'll need the propietary Nvidia driver (for now).
How did you know the CPU wasn't the problem? Sometimes CPUs have defects. Especially given the underclocking seemed to help.
Nvidia users will also need a DE update, but yeah, we're finally almost there.
That girl seems to have dodged a bullet.
Linux may very well not be for you, but using Arch first is like jumping into the deep end to learn how to swim. It's no surprise you're drowning. I'd recommend you try a gaming-focused distro like Nobara before you go back to Windows for good.
