hey i am new to this but if you forget the SSD and the keyboard/mouse and the speakers he could get MSI 1280MB GeForce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III Power Edition OC:) ?
I don't know what the new features will be in Windows 8 except for the GUI, but try looking through some ASUS laptops, by my experience they look very good and they are made of some quality hardware which won't burn up due to bad ventilation etc. And waiting for a new generation of proessors isn't really necessary if you are only gonna use it for business.
I have the same exact problem, the noise gets extremely loud when i power up the PC and a after half a minute the the noise goes away, i opened the side panel once and powered up the computer and i pinpointed the fan that was making all the noise, it was the rear fan but of-course there is nothing i can do except replace it :) coz this PC is 6 and half years old .
