It's impossible to recommend anything without knowing the SQL statements you would run, their frequency and number of rows in tables and indexes on them.

Without that information, one can only say "the more CPU, RAM and faster HDD, the better". Or "spend as much as you possibly can, extra power never hurt anyone".

One thing I will recommend though. If database size is larger than RAM, get at least a SAS disk. It improves performance drastically.
