Do it. Just keep in mind that you probably won't be able to play your games or run a lot of Windows software in Ubuntu. It's like if you buy a Mac, you have to use Mac software; if you use Ubuntu, you have to use Linux software and get used to a new system. But Ubuntu happens to be a pretty easy distro to use and learn. If you can get past that, you won't be disappointed. It's pretty amazing. And there are quite a few good open source games and apps that are made for Linux.
Also, you might be wise to study into whether your hardware works well with Ubuntu. Especially video cards, sound cards, and wireless.
The Ubuntu installation will help you to partition your hard drives and keep a place for your Windows install.
