I'm looking to replace my aging desktop computer and would appreciate some advice on building a new rig. I'm planning to dual boot ubuntu (my primary os) and windows 7 for gaming. I'm aiming for the $1,000-1,500 range. Can anyone recommend a complete build for me with linux compatibility in mind? I don't know of any places that specialize in linux where I live, so I'd like to be able to simply take a list of parts to my local computer store and ask them to build it. (I may also try my hand at building it myself.)
So far I'm leaning toward the Intel Core i5 2500 and GeForce GTX 460 because I've read quite favourable reviews, including here on phoronix, and it seems like they provide good bang for their buck.
