Claire and I have won a protracted legal battle with our local authority and at the moment we're going through the settlement stage.  Presently we're claiming damages and I'm hoping to get a new computer and Poser Pro 2012 (or whatever it's called) out of the money.

I'm not at the point of specing the system yet - I'll be having a custom built rig - but I'd like to know if 8GB is a realistic amount of RAM or would I be better served getting 12 or 16?  The system will be used for graphics and music recording, so I need something pretty hefty.  To that end, I'm seriously considering 2 x 1TB disks.  Music recording eats up disk space at a phenomenal rate and I don't want to have to write everything to DVD every other day.    

Once we know the lay of the land regarding the damages settlement, I'll have a better idea if this is going to be a reality and, if so, I'll start working out the spec.  I've resigned myself to getting a wide gamut TFT or somesuch, since nobody makes a decent CRT at a realistic price nowadays.  Boo hiss.  Apart from that, I have a few sound card options in mind but I don't know what's worthwhile in the graphics card department now.

Before anyone asks, it will be a Windows 7 based machine.
