I just got a new linux box with hex core, 64GB ram and SSD.
Best machine I ever had for Nuke. With the SSD I can run 4k dpxfiles in
real time in Nuke (caching can't even keep up with the playback in 2k).
With Nuke's cache and localising path on the SSD you will have a bit of
fun, especially if you are using Hiero as well pointing to the same
localising path.
As for RAM, you can never have enough in Nuke and my gut feeling is to
rather go with more cores than the fastest ones (of course, get both if
you can afford it).
With hyper threadable multi cores you can get yourself the free Deadline
version and use it to quickly run multiple parallel jobs on your machine
which can speed up rendering a lot. In which case you also want a bit of
RAM to hand out amongst those parallel jobs.
All in all, it depends on what kind of work you are doing. If you do
more editing stuff and lightweight comps with many frames, bus speed and
SSDs may be more important, but for semi complex comping, IO speed is
quickly not the bottle neck anymore and you may want to invest into cpus
and RAM first.
Cheers,
frank

I'm about to get a new machine for running nuke 7. I'm wondering where
to focus. Is RAM more important, SSD, processors, bus speed etc?
Thanks
