Very nice!

I finally upgraded my workhorse at home earlier this year (it was only slightly younger than my daughter!)

Processors: 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i733770 processor (up to 3.90 GHz)
Operating System: Windows 8 Pro, 643bit (which I hate BTW!)
Memory: 24GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz – 3 DIMMS 24GUDIM 1
Optical Drive: 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/3RW), write to CD/DVD 16XDVDR 1
Hard Drive: 2TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s 2TBS 1
Video Card: AMD Radeon™ HD 7770 2GB GDDR5

I thought about a solid state drive, and may yet add it in.

You should. It makes your system feel 10x snappier that it is. Get a good 80-120gb ssd and install your OS and programs on it. Then use your 2TB as a storage drive.
