That should work fine. If you want to mess around with the hm2-eth ethernet driver, the Gigabyte J1900N-D3V has dual Ethernet ports, but no LPT port.
The board got a lot of bad reviews for some early bios firmware that was bad. The F3 version of the firmware is fine. Debian 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 runs fine on the Gigabyte board. No video issues. I've bought about a dozen of those Kingston SSDNow drives (30 and 60 gig) and they always seem to work well. For memory, I have been buying Crucial but I have never had issues with the leading brands. I'm a little picky when it comes to power supplies as there is a lot of junk power supplies out there now. Thermaltake seems to be better than some of the other ones I have used (and lost). The little PICO power supplies work well if you don't need too much PCI power.
