I am planning on building a high performance computer for a wide variety of tasks such as internet marketing all the way to casual gaming and video editing. I just put together this list of parts from newegg. Should I have any problems with the parts I've chosen or should I be okay to order them?

What I'm looking for here is a performance PC on a budget that can be expanded as I like and as needed. Also, I am an avid Ubuntu/Linux monkey and would like to know if I would be able to run Ubuntu on this setup. By the way, this will be my first computer build project. I don't really need a dedicated sound card.

Thanks

Looks like it will work just fine. Not much money, either.

And yes, it will run linux prefect fine.

Looks fine to me. the video card is a bit low powered to be considered "performance" but if you aren't heavy gamer, it'll be fine.

Good choices.

Looks good with one exception, If you want a little more future proofing, I would go with this board: Newegg.ca - GIGABYTE GA-990XA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990X SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard, I have that same video card and I love it for video editing and casual gaming. It overclocks well also!
