I am building some cabinets to be hung from as yet unbuilt wall.

I want to build the wall from 25 or 26 gauge steel studs (whatever they
sell at Home Depot/Menards) instead of woood studs.

Will screwing the cabinets into the metal studs be enough support?

I would add some 2x4 backing to the inside of the metal stud where the
cabinets will hang. Then when you hang the cabinets the screws will go
through the stud, into the 2x4's.
