Askies!

There are a few things you don't skimp on and an SSD is one. You don't need a whole lot of storage for what the OP wants to use the PC for, but waiting for VS to start up is an unnecessary annoyance.

RAM is also important, VS chows it.

Albeit.. Might be thinking of SQL.

VS is heavy on memory and when you have 3 or 4 projects open at the same time you start to really feel it, add to that you have SQL Server running in the background. I'll start with 8GB and see how that goes for now.
 
Go straight to 32GB. What I did with my new box.

Just kidding on the 32GB. It's overkill unless you plan on ram drives or VM's or...
