I'd put good SSDs as second only to big monitors and lots of them.

About 2 years ago I opted to purchase a laptop that was the fastest I could
afford but not paying stupid money.
My work these days is mostly heavy database work so every gram of
performance helps. It has a Sandybridge I7 and 16G of Ram. The key thing
that sold me this laptop was that it supports

It is an MSI GT680
The laptop was about 2000 and the two SSDs were about 800 so say about

Totally agree. I've taken work laptops and put my own SSD hard drive in
them in the past (without asking for permission usually. They hire me
trusting that I know what I'm doing, and I know that it will mean I won't
be sitting about waiting for stuff to happen).
I did some benchmarking on build
Another thing I have found that keeps me moving, albeit a lesser thing, is
a decent keyboard. Particularly for us older fellows (I am looking at you
Greg Keogh) who grew up on solid hardware instead of the flimsy plastic
rubbish that gets sold these days, a decent keyboard boosts productivity
