! Year and 5 Hdds ? You put this in Desktops, so I am assuming you are looking for a Desktop. You would want something like an Intel i5 based machine ( 2500 or 2500k ) with either Nividia GTX460 or above ir ATI 6770 or above and about 6 GB of Ram. You didn't say what the budget was that you were working with so couldn't go looking for suggestions.
