I am somewhat new to Linux, with my only Linux experience being setting up a PS3 with YDL 6.x and configuring it. I enjoy using Linux, and like that it is free, but I am tired of fighting the PS3's hypervisor and its limited support for wireless, flash, and 3D acceleration, to name a few things. So I am going to be setting up a custom desktop for a Fedora build and I want to first make sure that the hardware I am considering is supported, and if anyone knows a place to check out a compatability list or something. I am looking up the parts myself too, but having a second opinion or some advice would help. Please don't recommend expensive or performance parts, I am not building a gaming pc or anything. Trying to stay under $400.
