Looking at a system with 16GB memory. That should carry me through for a long time.

16 is better that 8. I am able to compare my two desktops. One with 8 and one with 16. 240GB SSD drive in each one.

This will be impossible to find for windows 7 but an SSD hard drive also speeds things up. Dell might make it for you. A current i3 processor is good enough. No need for i5.

Not if you use Virtual Machines and you should. Imagine having a computer where if anything goes wrong(virus, hack), you throw it away and and open a fresh one that looks exactly like the one you threw away.
