I cannot give you an honest suggestion for PC parts until you tell me what your budget is. From there I can give you the best suggestions that will put you as close to you budget as possible.

I can and even suggest a few areas where it would be advisable to upgrade if you can increase your budget by X dollars. For example if your budget puts you at a GTX 1050 range, I would also suggest that if you spen $30 more you could a GTX 1060 or ATI 480 and get 2x performance increase.

I haven't really thought about the budget. I'm not that into PC's to know which components have high value - and can be expected to be easilly upgraded a couple of years in the future.

Nvidia cards work way, way, WAY better in Linux than AMD. Like, it's not even close, unless you're using the open source drivers for your GPU, in which case Nvidia is garbage. I'd really like to support AMD, but I'd be basically shooting myself in the foot. Check the benchmarks. Unless something drastic changed with this latest gen, you pretty much have just one option for Linux gaming: Nvidia.

I guess I've had bad luck with graphics cards, as the times I've had Nvidia card, I've had to use nouveau drivers, whereas AMD website has pretty good selection of drivers for Linux. But, thanks.
