Linux HCL - optical drive and HDD

[ninja_zx9r]

Hello everybody,

I'm building a new system and wants to run any Linux (SuSe, Debian would be fine) instead of Windows.
Sadly I couldn't find an up-to-date Linux HCL. Does anybody knows one?

Primary goal is to find a SATA CD/DVD drive/burner and a valueable HDD (1 - 2 GB, SATA)
Can anybody give me a tip which HW is compatible?

Currently I have the following hardware:
Mainboard: Gigabyte Z77-DS3H
CPU: Intel Core i5 - 3570K
RAM: 2 x 4 GB Kingston HyperX PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3-RAM
SSD: Samsung 840 Series All-in-One Installation Kit internal SSD-HD 120GB (2,5 Zoll), 256MB Cache, SATA III)
Graphics: onboard (intel HD Graphics 4000) optionally: AMD Radeon HD 7870 OC 2048MB, Sapphire
Power Supply: Be quiet BQT L7-350W Pure Power PC-Netzteil 350 Watt
Has anybody information about trouble with this HW and Linux?

Thanks for your support

Gigabyte GBT GA-Z77-DS3H Mainboard Socket 1155 Z77 4x DDR3 ATX
Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor (3,4GHz, Socket 1155, 6MB Cache, 77 Watt)

Everything is working fine. Just the onboard LAN wasn't recognised by YaST automatically and must be installed and configured.

System runs stable, fast and with verly less power consumption (30-32W standard, max. 71W)
Boot time: 8 sec.
Duration of OS installation: 8 min.
