I just bought that same same drive(western digital black 1tb) from best buy for 89.99. I know bestbuy is the devil but the prices were rediculous everywhere else. try looking there first!
EDIT: I just looked at bestbuys prices and they jumped to 119.99 but still cheaper than frys or newegg

Awesome, I'll probably pick it up from Best Buy. The rest of my stuff I just ordered from NewEgg.

Got all my parts in the mail today, except for my SSD.

I thought I would be getting a free copy of Windows 7, but things have become a little bit more complicated and i might end up having to buy one. Everywhere I check its $199 for a copy of Home Premium.

Whats the deal with this copy of Windows 7? Why is it so much cheaper?

Its a OEM, not retail. Short story, its more or less tied to the motherboard. If you upgrade/change the motherboard microsoft might give you a hard time validating it.
