Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 (got idea by Y0GI), dont know much about this one, but I've seen people reviewed that WD is more reliable than Seagate (like they last less, also when you ask people say you to get WD, search google to see, I haven't tested it myself so I dont know if reliable or not), 7200 RPM.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seagate-3-5-1TB-ST1000DM003-Barracuda-7200-SATAIII-6Gb-s-Hard-Drive-/360770340909?pt=US_Internal_Hard_Disk_Drives&hash=item53ff96882d - $66.95, more than 10 available, trusted by stars.

WD Black, Maximum performance for power computing, 5-year warranty (others listed dont have).
Drawback is power consumption (dont know by how much but more far performance has more wattage, maybe not much), more noise, more cost.

-Newegg-

You can shop in Ebay, but I prefer Newegg because they are many times cheaper and they are official, and in that I mean that newegg (or the company you choose)sends you the item, not a specific person, so it's a lot more trustable than Ebay.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148321 - Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK, $59.99, cheapest one for 1tb, I think it's a sale, because it's $79.99 normally. (16/12/13 $74.99 now)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840 - Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 (idea by Y0GY), $64.99, sale, normally $69.99. (16/12/13 Extra savings w/ promo code EMCWVWV23, ends 12/15)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339 - WD Blue, $69.99.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236342 - WD Red, $69.99, sale, normally $79.99. (16/12/13 $79.99 now)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 - WD Black, $89.99, unknown discount with promo code GREENMD196, limited discount. (16/12/13 discount no longer available)

You can get a good 1tb HDD from newegg for around $70. I you wanted to get one from eBay I'm sure that they are abalone for $50 or so, but I don't really recommend buying used components, especially HDD's becuse they are such a fragile piece of you computer and I would trust newegg much more than eBay.

Here's the HHD I currently use, I've had it for awhile and it works great:
