that makes sense, i mean, if i did digital media and other things related, i probably could fill up 1TB quick, id say get the 1TB, and maybe on his birthday you could get another for him to have a raid 1 setup, to make sure nothing is lost.

Yeah go with this. But get two 500GB HDs for raid 0, which is a cheap solution to double your HD speeds without spending a lot on a WD raptor.

To be honest even a 300W PSU will do that system fine- but then that would be a bit tight.

I would get 2 of the 500gb's... Security footage can be lost. But pictures are worth alot more often times, So if you have the pics on both drives your good, unless your house burns down.
