I'm thinking of getting something along the lines of:

I'll probably stick with debian but I might try out ubuntu and linux mint distros.
Does this sound reasonable?
Yes. You could consider an SSD for the operating system if you want software to load more quickly, then just use the hard drive for data files. I would lean toward more RAM (and a slower CPU if the budget's tight). Make sure it's a modern board with SATA III and USB 3.0 included.
