Anna,
 I'm NOT the Guru you seek! However the following site should help  with 
hardware compatibility questions.

Subject: [PCBUILD] First  Build--Ubuntu?


I've been running Ubuntu on an old laptop that's  just about had it.  I've
been happy with the OS and would like to  build a PC with Ubuntu-compatible
hardware.  This computer would be  used for internet access, word processing,
some gaming, etc.  Are  there any pieces of hardware I won't be able to use
or should avoid because  of the OS?  Is there a preference for AMD or  Intel?
