I can agree with this statement and still recommend going overkill like I did. I rarely play video games, but when I do I can always turn them up to the maximum settings for everything and still get a ridiculously high framerate.

Also, it's convient to be able to fully start up photoshop in like 1.5 seconds.

I guess I personally fully take advantage of the processor and RAM for development too, but the video cards are definitely overkill.
