The 8Gb of RAM and the (quad?) processor sound good.  But instead of relying on the onboard graphics, I'd get a midrange graphics card, so you can preview with hardware shading.  You'll be able to see procedural and tiling textures in preview, which helps greatly in getting materials dialed in.

preview without hardware shading:

preview with hardware shading:
OpenGL preview with hardware shading enabled

Set this in the render settings, preview tab:
