4 cores is a little light. 8 would be better.

2.0Ghz is a little slow. 2.3 or 2.6 would be better for 8 cores, 3.0 or above would be better for 4 cores.

RAID 10 is recommended. You will also find many references to MEGAraid controllers for heavy use systems on this vicidial forum. lots of conversations on that topic. Note that heavy use is based on power of the system vs how you use it. If you only have 4 cores at 2.0 Ghz, "heavy use" will happen very quickly. But if you have 8 cores and 2.6Ghz "heavy" may be a bit farther into the future.
