    While it's true what most are saying, that you don't need a powerful system to learn hacking....... You DO have a valid point that a powerful system enables things a weaker system may not. For example with 64GB of RAM you can run a full network lab simulation such as https://github.com/clong/DetectionLab additionally a solid high end graphics card will let you run things like hashcat a lot faster. In theory you could make a rainbow table. You still need a lot of time to understand all the basics but yeah there's a few cool things you can do with more power it's not ENTIRELY unneeded. I wish I knew about the local defcon group long ago. They're welcoming and some have capture the flags you can play. Understand the various job roles there are in security and figure out which one you like. You get paid to do specific things not just learn about hacking.
