My main PC at home has 16 GB of RAM, an i7-3770 and a 128 OCZ Vertex 4 SSD as the boot drive. Boot time from off to Windows 8.1 login screen is 6 seconds. That's not hibernation or sleep mode - that's from completely off. The entire system cost $850. Is that an unreasonable price to pay for a desktop computer?

In Brazil, yeah, pretty unreasonable. We get crap hardware and exorbitant prices for anything other than the low-end stuff.
