Is this a single drive system?
I prefer to build twin drive systems at minimum.
One drive for windows and room for the fat thing to grow and another for data.
that way if one drive fails you're not going to loose everything at once.
Also at minimum if your processing photos with DSS or Photoshop I'd go with a min of 8Gb RAM.
Also think of a backup system. An external 1 or 2 Tb HDD. These days you can get solid state drives with no disk and hybrid drives with lots of onboard memory and a disk.
An as Mithrandir mentions 32 or 64bit makes a difference to how much memory your machine can handle and the size of partitions on drives. But that issue may have been overcome in recent times?
