(Mint is nice, but not being updated as frequently as Ubuntu can be an issue with drivers, kernels and libraries, I think.) I've been advised here that I don't need high-end for decent performance, but I should make sure it has plenty of RAM. I went with a cheap, used GTX 1060 with 6GB of RAM. Of course your machine is much more powerful than mine, so you may want to spend a bit more, to make sure your card does not hold back the rest of the system. With my card, the ancient Core2 Duo / 4GB PC performs rather well (without significant lag) for most operations. General editing advice: don't go overboard. Darktable has lots of modules, but many of them are deprecated. Check out Aurelien Pierre's YouTube channel, and also 'Editing moments with Darktable'. Aurelien is a core developer; 'Editing moments' concentrates not on modules, but on images.
