Just to clarify:

I understood the OP's question to be about the hardware that he will buy
to build his desktop from.

In regard to software,  imho for a desktop it does not matter.

I had good experiences with both Lin 32bit and Lin 64bit on 64bit hardware.

However my experience with win 64bit software will make me recommend
win32bit software for 64bit hardware. But: I never had the privilege to
test win 64bit server software.

Imho, for a desktop nowadays, it comes very close to be the most
important consideration since it is the machine's noisiness that either
supports or distracts  my mental attention.
