Well depending on your cash supplies you should look into a dual cpu 
system as you can never have enough power for plugins and synths in 
realtime.

If not then AMD has a better rep in Linux land than Intel.

Plenty of RAM and ATI has better performing drivers than nvidia although 
that can also depend on your mobo/vga combination.

Ask here before you buy with a list of specs and you'll get plenty of 
feedback.

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
