Hi - looks good - the more RAM the better (16 is good for most things) and I assume you will have at least 4+ cores. AMD vs Intel (and specific choice of chip and clock speed) generally seems to come down to a bang-per-buck tradeoff. Note that some people are having problems with the Ubuntu distribution because of FSLView support, so other OS flavours may be easier to setup. Cheers.
