Interface-wise I already got a Behringer, which has been great, actually, good sounding, never think about it reliable, real usable ~7 ms latency. A serious candidate for best $80 I ever spent. But yah, I'm sure RME would be nice.
Core VSTis are Kontakt Superior Drummer3 the old N.I. B4II and EZKeys. I also transfer projects from the studio i7 machine & in all but a very few they work fine. I do admit that the babyface has a LOT to do with reliability and capacity of the system though. Bets £300 I ever spent.

Mind you I do now have two SSD drives, having replaced the internal DVD drive, which means I can have all the Toontrack samples on that separate disk. Makes a huge difference to performance.
