I would like to have at least 1 TB of space because I have lots of music. I would consider an SSD drive because I may need to access large databases, but if it doesnt fit the budget it is not a deal breaker. Thank you for your help friends.

what is your screen res? you don't want bigger than 1920x1200 because it takes to much GPU power
