@Jemc: Starting January the earliest. I have to buy components only a couple at a time for few months, as I have my car to fix at the same time (cylinder head cracked and turbo leaks oil, it's likely going to get a minor power upgrade from 130hp to ~200hp as well as I fix it).
@Raistline: Thank you! Very useful information. I was thinking as fast as possible 32/64 or so GB SSD as a root/home and HDD for everything else. That's because how fast the SSD prices are (hopefully) going to drop - though, 32GB is way too small if I have that much RAM (although, planning on swappiness=0 anyway).
It's likely that I upgrade the OS every two years (Ubuntu LTS), and I've liked it clean, so this is where I could change the SSD if I need to.
Basically, parts that I need to upgrade, I can also reuse on another computer, as I have quite a few kids who are likely going to want their own computers too at some point.
The reason I was thinking the upgradeability, is because I learned some time ago that laptops aren't necessarily upgradeable. My netbook (wife's netbook actually) RAM maxes out at 2GB, CPU cannot be changed, and if it could be, the socket wouldn't fit anything even remotedly modern.
