Even better would be to buy 2 - 1 terabyte drives, or whichever size you need, and put them in a raid 1.

That way if one drive starts to fail you can replace it and continue to use the computer without having to reinstall windows.

Get an ssd like the evo 850 or the crucial mx300, life will be much better and price of a 500gb is arround 140 pound.

why used hdd... new ones are not that expensive, 1tb hdd is like $40... Get a new one. How do you tell hard drive is not good any more? Is it just booting time or metalic sound? If latter, it means physical metal tip is scratching and you should get a new one asap.
