I'm looking for suggestions for a new desktop system. My needs/wants are the following:

1) Budget - Less than $1500 (a gal can hope, can't she?)
2) Use case - mainly software development (web/Java, not graphics heavy), want to install VirtualBox and open up two VMs without having the thing slow to a crawl. Will be installing Ubuntu as OS, so any existing MS crap will be blown away.
3) I have an iPad for any multimedia needs I might have. Not worried about it in this thing.
4) No hard core gaming needs.

Thanks all. Sorry for the mis-post by the newbie. Will check out parts picker mega thread. Yes, knew from past experience thtnI needed more than 16 GB RAM. But that's all I knew.
