It mostly depends on what you plan on using it for - aside from using your PC to play a few games. I for one have had a 160GB HDD now for a good 3 years and I've never had any issues with space. I don't download music or videos - I've only a handful of movies that are from the iTune store, otherwise I use my computer for strictly gaming and basic information storage - xcel files, word files, pictures, etc...

I generally keep my HDD at around 60% capacity - I delete games I haven't played in a long, long while....so I do good with 160GB.

Now, if you plan on downloading tons of music and videos, then your best bet would be to go for at least the 250GB. I knew guys in college that had 60-120GB external HDDs filled with movies and videos.

if you manage your space carefully, dont want to keep vast amounts of music on it and dont mind spending on an external hdd in future if you need it, then go for it
