One of the recent trends is going for a smaller SSD drive rather than a HD. They're fast and very reliable. If you get a desktop tower, add a couple of hard drives for your photos and files. USB 3 is standard now but there are still a lot of computers being sold that don't natively support USB 3 so avoid them. It makes a big speed difference with external drives. A discrete graphics card isn't needed for photo editing but having one does have benefits as the onboard graphics uses system memory. You will notice a difference if you are shooting and editing video. You should get a minimum of 8GB of RAM and going with 16 won't cost much more. The best thing you can do for your photo editing is get a good IPS monitor and a calibration tool like the Spyder or Xrite system.
