It actually goes into TB which is a TeraByte which is 1000 GB
There are quite a few computers out there that offer TB computers. RAM wise about 4 GB is great.
But usually people look for speed more than mass storage, unless you are building a data server.

There isn't really a maximum depending on how you set it up.
Internal hard drives go up to 500 GB and beyond now, but many desktops are being sold with around 250 GB... more than any average user would need. Desktop PC's can also be hooked up to external hard drives, some of which go up to 1 TB (1000 GB).
On the flip side, you're PC can be setup with a RAID configuration that allows you to use multiple hard drives of varying sizes be used as one large hard driver, as a backup or for improved performance.
In other words, you would probably never need more than 250-500 GB, but you can always get more storage if you want/need it. Just make sure your hard drive is SATA and runs fast (at least 7200 rpm).

Terabytes is right but are you asking about storage IE hard rive capicity or memory, as in RAM?
Generally, a high-end PC will have 2 Gigs of RAM and 500 GB of HDD space.
For average use (not a gamer, video editor or 3-d renderer) a gig of memory and 200 GB's of hard drive space is enough.
