Hello there,

I’m re-building my current system now, a Dell Optiplex 780 Desktop. I’m in the process of purchasing an internal hard drive for the computer. Currently the system has a Seagate 250GB Barracuda 7200rpm hard drive installed. What capacity hard drive do you suggest I should go for? Should I buy a 1TB or a 2TB internal hard drive for storage? Will this hard drive fit inside the system? Will I have any problems with this configuration if I install Windows 8 into my current system?

System is configured as follows:

- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU @ 3.0GHz
- 4GB of Memory
- 250GB Hard Drive (New/Blank)
- No Operating System

it depends, i believe that case has 3.5" hard drive bays, so no you will have no trouble getting the internal hard drive weather it's 2Tb or 1tb..
windows 8 will install on the drives you buy once again not mattering weather it is 2tb or 1tb
its a personal decision to choose what hard drive you want 1tb or 2tb
Hope this helped
 
When you install it, be sure you connect it to your motherboards sata connector. Mostly you can see 3gb/s or 6gb/s on it. Take the SATA 6gb/s if your mobo has one of those. Normally you should have a connector free since most mobo's have at least 3 of them
