Any SATA II hdd will work, personally I like Seagate. I'd think about getting a smaller hdd, no more than 80GB, for the OS and programs and use the 500 for storage. If you don't want to do this, be sure to partition you hdd with about 30 to 35GB for the OS and program. Not sure how CPU intensive programming is but for everything else the AM2 X2 3800 would be fine
