Calling all Linux-heads

If you were to buy/build a PC as a dedicated linux-box, what hardware would you use?

AMD? Intel? ATI? nVidia?

I keep hearing Intel + nVidia to be the best combo for linux machines.

But let's say you wanted to play RO on max-graphics settings with all the pretty eye-candy enabled; what type of machine would you get for that?

Minimum processor? Minimum RAM? Minimum VRAM? MOBO? etc.

I've been playing on a fairly archaic machine (low graphics settings on shader 3) and would like to (within a year) upgrade or start looking.

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
