My DAW is a gamer in all but video specs. It sports a liquid-cooled Intel 2570K i5 quad-core CPU, 16 Gb of RAM (expandable to 32, or, if I build a new machine, to 192 Gb using Win 7 Ultimate), SSD C: drive, a 7,200-RPM WD Caviar Black 1Gb D: drive, and a 2 Gb dual-head graphics card driving two 24" HDMI monitors. The thing boots to Windows in 20 seconds and handles any task I throw at it with ease. I built it five years ago and don't foresee a change any time soon.
