5400 RPM.

That's pretty much the standard for OEM drives.

First thing I do is replace them with a 7200.

Faster drive upgrades from the manufacturer are a rip off and not worth it.

You can get a 1TB 7200 RPM drive from Newegg for as little as $65.

I'd also drop more ram in it.

An 8 GB upgrade will run around $80.

I have 16 GB in my main box and that will run around $150.
