                      get ssd at least as a main drive. if you're not doing anything heavy processing wise, i5 is plentiful

                            You'll be perfectly fine if you go with an i5-2400, just as long as you don't plan on overclocking. They're really nice processors.

                              What SSD to you have? I just bought a Crucial M4 SSD and I can't believe it took me so long to switch to an SSD...you can really tell the difference.

                                          Go to Dell.com and search for the Cray. If you can afford one, it will most likely be the last you ever buy.

                                              I'm jealous, I have been wanting to try out a multi-screen setup for awhile now.

                                                Affordable computers are becoming faster over time in the past few decades. Think about Pentium 1 processor. After that, there was Pentium 2, 3 and 4.

                                                        You need to get a SSD, there's no way around it.. the difference is insane.. I boot up in like 25-30 seconds or so.. and the start up of any program takes the blink of an eye (almost)

                                                                          Unless of course newer versions resolves this.

                                                                          Work archives spanned across 2x 1TB RAID 1

The newer models have came a long way and SSDs using the Sandforce controllers are much better then they used to be. I still only looked at Intel, Crucial m4, and Samsung's 830 series to be on the safe side though.
