hello all,
I would like to assemble a PC to make high-level graphics editing a Linux system like Ubuntu.
I'm afraid I have no problems with the drivers.
Below I copy the entire configuration.
I hope you can help me and give me advice.
thanks to all

Gigabyte GA-A75-A75 is wrong, and its not the full model number (it should be GA-A75XXXX, eg GA-A75-UD4H) Some of them are full ATX motherboards, and wont fit in a microATX case.
The AMD 'fusion' CPUs still have poor linux support. They can work, but arent as easy (or as good) as a standalone nVidia/AMD video cards.
AMD A8-3870k is outperformed by a FX-6100 (and various intel CPUs) which are about the same cost. I'd get a FX-6100/AMD 9XX series chipset board or some intel setup for graphics editing over the AMD fusion CPUs.
Bulldozer and fusion CPUs support RAM speeds up to 1866 (no overclocking) stock, so if you can find some DDR3-1866 for about the same cost as DDR3-1600 it would be slightly better. Not that you would notice the difference without a stopwatch.
That is a full ATX motherbaord, and will not fit in a microATX case.

If you get a FX CPU you will need either a standalone video card, or a chipset with onboard video. I wouldnt get onboard video, the chipsets with it arent as good as the 9XX chipsets.
