Not a bad go at it.
But when it comes to vehicles bigger is not better. The more costly you make it the more you lose when its destroyed.
I would drop it to a 30 ton tank strip everything out other than the PPC and bump the speed to 5/8
150 engine (5/8)
.7 turret
PPC in turret
9.5 tons standard armor
For a cost of 836,550 CBills and I would buy 5 of them for a cost of 4,182,750 CBills 4.2m is about what a medium mech runs and how many medium mechs can stand up to 5 PPC carrying tanks? The mech might take out one of the tanks before it was destroyed. Say I lost two tanks to the cost of one mech. I would have lost 1.7m CBills of tanks to there 4.2m CBill Mech. I will also still have three tanks to keep the fight going.
Or I could field 11 of the following tanks for your 4,225,000 budget. A 100 ton Clan assault mech would be hard pressed to destroy all of them tanks before it its self was destroyed.
cost 383,300 CBills
tech level IS 3
tank weight 20
chassis type track
engine 100 fusion 4.5t
cruse speed 5
Flank speed 8
Lift/rotor/other none
control 1t
IS 2t
Armor IS/Armor 84 5.25t
Front 2/30
LT/RT 2/15
Back 2/8
Turret 2/16
Weapons/ammo placement weight
Large Laser turret 5
MG front .5
MG ammo (50) body .25
Infantry Squad body 1t
Why argue if the glass is half full or half empty, when you know someone is going to knock it over and spill it anyways.
I was a Major *pain* before
But I got a promotion.
I am now a General *pain*
Yay for promotions!!!

For a mere 10k C-Bills more you can mount that Large Laser onto a VTOL having it moving much faster:

And for the original topic, I thought about building the 'Mech around the all-mighty Gauss Rifle

The Gauss is a decent weapon on (almost) all ranges, M-Lasers add punch on Med or Short Ranges and the SRM tries to find some open spots in the armor. ECM is always nice and with the ECCM-rules it may also help to protect the C³-network against enemy ECM.
And my Clan 'Mech idea priced at almost 7M

PPC and ATM can cover all ranges and the Med-Lasers for added punch on short ranges.
