GPU wise you may consider:

AMD Radeon R7 360 -- basically the same chipset as AMD Firepro W5100, supports
D3D 12, OpenGL 4.5 and OpenCL 2.0, with a TDP of 100W, requires a 6pin power
supply. Price range: $109.

AMD Radeon HD 6570 -- basically the same chipset as AMD Firepro V4900, supports
D3D 11, OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 1.2, with a TDP of 60W, doesn't require a 6 pin
power supply and has a smallform factor. Price range: $39.

I have been using their equivalent AMD Firepro cards, so I suppose they won't
give you hard times under GNU/Linux. Personally, I would recommend HD 6570
because it's cheaper, cooler and has well-matured open source drivers. It
should be much easier to manage.

As for CPU (APU):

AMD A8-7600, the most popular APU in recent AMD generations, supports AVX, has
an integrated R7 GPU so you might save the GPU. TDP 65W. Price range: $109($79
at constant sale). 

Use with an A88X chipset motherboard. I suggest ASUS A88XM-A, it might give you
less trouble because of a potentially better BIOS. Price range: $149.

The APU plan is probably better because you may want to test against every
aspect of AMD's shenanigans. XD
