Is it enough for a gaming pc?

I like to store a lot of heavy size games like battlefield 4, gta 4, far cry 3, etc.
I also want to store a lot of musics and HD movies and animes.
Do you think its enough?

Do I need to upgrade to 2TB?
I prefer to get 1TB because I don't have the budget to upgrade it.

1TB should be fine unless you have tons of movies. I generally find HD movies to take 4-5 GB if properly encoded (blu ray rips). I'd say figure out how many of those you want and reserve about 600GB for games and the OS. That should be plenty.

Also, might be worth considering getting a SSD for the OS and games and throwing all of the movies and such onto a secondary drive if that is within your budget.

EDIT: Also, 600GB is a TON of space for games. That was an overkill estimate. I have a 500GB SSD for programs and games and 2TB HDD for fraps and media files. My SSD is only around halfway full with Diablo 3, WoW, StarCraft II, and plenty of other AAA titles installed on it. Basically, what I'm saying is 1TB should accommodate the OS...
