About GPUs, yeah, Nvidia GPU is the best on Linux, because their binary driver is the most decent one under Linux. ATI's ones were horrendous, but even though it's gotten better over the past few years, it's still below Nvidia's one concerning performance, stability and features.

About CPUs, well I can't really pronounce and I don't think it's really relevant. I've only had AMDs so far and never got any problem on Linux with them.

Anyways for a powerful enough build that can run RO at max settings, I'm not really expert in Intel/Nvidia hardware so I let the others say about them, but I'd consider an Intel Pentium Dual Core at least for CPU (i5/i7 is better), a Nvidia GT 450 with 512MB minimum as GPU, 3-4GB of RAM minimum (depends of your environment since RO eats up to 2GB...).
Motherboard is not really relevant. As long as it can hold your CPU and other stuff it should be good. Most of the Intel,Nvidia and AMD southbridges are Linux friendly.
