You'll not have many problems with that power haha.
For a user like me, a machine with 8-12 GB Ram, a decent SSD with HDD companion for extra storage and latest i5 or i3 processor would be great.
I don't know what kind of a user you are, but i can tell you why i bought this and not a cheaper pc.
1. Your point exactly, not to be limited by hardware, in the case i need power. I get paid to implement this and that, and occasionally some solutions need power, like a lot of power, i have to do my homework somehow before the implementation, so i needed something like this. But they are rare, these situations.
2. It was, as i said, cheap

) I got lucky once and got a pretty big discount
