[SOLVED] Minimalist desktop

[rgoncalves]

Hi everyone.
I would like to by a new desktop PC. I'm going to use the pc to run a Linux distro (Fedora) and for professional uses only... ex. run an IDE for development, a few docker containers with cpu and memory intensive requirements. Running games, is not a goal.
I'm thinking about Intel core i7 and 16GB of RAM. However, looking for pcs with this specs we end up with pre assembled pcs with expensive graphics board, lots of usbs ports, etc... I don't need that.
I'm not familiar with hardware specs....
Anyone with a recommendation for assembling a desktop for my use case?
Board, cpu, etc....?

Maybe go with faster RAM or different secondary storage, but it's a starting point.
