is there a less expensive hard drive i could use?? one that would work ok until i could buy the 7870???
You could use the 500gb one you listed, but I find it stupid because you can double your storage if you spend a bit more.
If you seriously can't go over 500 right now, save up for another 1-2 weeks and then get it. It'll be better in the long run.
