I've been pretty happy buying not "cutting edge" technology, but the just previous generation of processor at significantly lower cost. Twice, these processors have been up to the task 10 years after I bought them. Also buy plenty of RAM.

I'm curious about solid state drives. I have read that after a number of overwrites, some storage bits go bad. I personally have had pretty good luck with name brand hard drives. Hope I didn't jinx myself by saying this.
