I have noticed that the absolute maximum you can spend on a system without getting completely frivolous has come down over the years. A lot of components are just so cheap these days.
Having said that, a 500GB hard drive in a "dream" system? I wouldn't even bother with anything less than 1TB, even on a fairly low-end system.
Anyway, all of these are a little too rich for my blood. I guess the entry-level system is in the ballpark, but I'll definitely be going with some flavor of Intel. It's a shame, I was an AMD fan for a long time, but Intel is just miles ahead in performance.
