Which Hard Drive to get??

Thanks all. This is my first custom build PC and I am getting it from Digital Storm. They only have the 500GB 16MB and 1TB 32MB to choose from besides the SSD and Raptor drives. No 640GB. If I am not going to come close to filling the 1TB drive should I just go with the 500GB?

Which Hard Drive to get??

Thanks for the suggestions. I was speaking to a sales person at Micro Center and he was telling me that the 640GB has been found to be the sweet spot in the Black series. I should have asked him why?

Thank you again cmdrdredd. I think the i7 860 is the way to go for me. I think I am going to spend a little extra and get the 5870 that way I don't have to worry about anything for awhile. Is there a better CPU cooler that I should consider?
