It depends on what you want to do. If you only need Linux, without the option to run for example Windows as a virtual machine with graphics hardware acceleration, then it should run OK. If you do plan to run both Linux and Windows, I suggest a i5 3570 (non-K) processor with VT-d support, as well as a motherboard that supports VT-d (check ASrock boards) and an AMD graphics card. This way you have the option to run both Linux and Windows concurrently, with full graphics acceleration and support of the latest 3D games in your Windows guest.

In short, the hardware you selected will work with Linux, but will narrow your options with regard to virtualisation.
