A bit of a tedious one, hopefully it's okay to ask this here...
I was hoping someone could help me figure out if this PC build will work with Ubuntu? I've had trouble installing Ubuntu on my laptop in the past and now am finally biting the bullet and buying a new desktop. I'd like to set up a duel boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu and hardware really isn't my area (software man). I will be using this PC mostly for various development projects including openGL 3D graphics stuff so I'd like to be sure that my graphics card is compatible with Ubuntu as well!
If anyone could tell me if my plans will work out and offer any advice you have in general I'd be very appreciative! I've tried looking through the compatibility databases but I don't have much confidence in myself when it comes to hardware! None of this spec is set in stone, feel free to suggest changes and if I'm in the wrong place please point me in the right direction :)
