Back on topic, your computer is way more than strong, and should not have an issue at all with the game ("Thank you, Captain Obvious!"). One question though: Do you have write caching enabled on the SSDs? Write-Through would be the one to use if you are using it, but I'm not certain what would happen with Write-Back when playing SH4, if it gets out of whack or fails. But what are the chances of that anyway?...

Write caching is enabled on all 3 SSDs. I have a backup UPS and the normal laptop battery so it's virtually impossible that I would lose any RAM writes in a power outage. It's not recommended to have RAM caching enabled if you don't have a power backup of some sort. You could end up with garbled crap on the hard disk if the RAM writes did not get transferred to the disk because of a sudden power loss.
