When buying or upgrading your computer, you really should do yourself a favor and buy the biggest hard drive you can lay your wallet on. With drives as large as 15 to 20 GB, at a price point of pennies per megabyte, you can't go wrong. It's very similar to buying your kids clothes or shoes just a hair bigger than they need to be. It may be a little much now; but give it a while. You'll definitely grow into it.
