It's very nice that you want to build your own box....and i dont know how much experience you have with linux but installing comercial games it is not easy....but you can read this threads:

from the mandrake forum:
http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=12073

from the linuxquestions forum which is for fedora 1 and 2:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=179748&highlight=ut004+and+fedora+core+

unfortunely this forum does not have any GAMING ZONE, i hope that one day it will....

good luck with you new pc....i just think your parts are high in price! :D
