Here's what I'm currently looking at:

AMD 3 (or 4) core, 3.5ghz cpu
4gb (or 8) RAM
160gb (or 320) hdd
Radeon HD 3000 (or 5000) graphics - mobo gfx are the 3000
ATX minitower case w/500w psu
DVD+RW drive

If I can afford to bump ONE of these to the parentheses version, which should it be?

I will admit, looking at the various forum posts of people struggling with driver problems or worse yet posting a call for help and getting no replies is doing a number on my resolve to build as a pure linux machine...
