It can work for sometime and then break (due to a kernel or VGA/wifi driver upgrade) so my advice is that you select the components that best suit your needs and budget, ensure all the components are more or less linux- friendly and the try to solve the problems you encounter in the way. Of course, the more open drivers you use, the better to get this working (proprietary VGA or wifi drivers can be hard to debug and there are many chances developers reject a bug when using these closed drivers).
