If going to Win7 and building a new PC. I'd put at least 15 GB of RAM. Why not, RAM is cheap? The OS can support it and if a few years will be closer to the norm. You have buy any laptop/desktop with a lifecycle in mind and think "how useful will this PC be in 4-5 years time". Having the RAM now will make it a better PC for a longer time.

You're right about a good power supply too. I would also recommend round cables instead of the ribbon ones for better cooling.
