Let us know when you're in the market for a new computer. I'm already looking forward to the flame war.-)

I suggest you get at least a 1TB hard drive, 8gigs of ram, 2gigs of video ram with whatever video card you get, and at least a quad core processor be it AMD or Intel.
If you buy a system that comes with Windows 8.1 and still want to run Linux, setup dual-boot.

Yeah, yeah. And being from Illinois I'd say I'm "f"ing golden. (Inside joke people from Illinois will get.)
