if going sata for your hdd i would say get the WD raptor drives, sure there not HUGE on the amount of data you can store, but if you raid them, You will loading your 100 meg+ files quickly. I got 2 of there 74 gig drives and thay are running at 10k rpm's and give a transfer of the 150 as stated in the frist post and only have a lantancy (Sp) of 2.9 ms. I love them and will never give it up.
Again as much ram as you can afford to drop in it. (no question there when working with images)
As for a graphic card. A NVIDIA Quadro FX will do you wonders (not for gameing)
