Excellent!!!

Now, may I make a suggestion or two?

Partition that hard drive into 2 or 3 partitions, with the C: partition being at least 100GB (minimum!!). That way, your C: drive won't fill up with the all the windows updates.

After you install Windows, change the location of "My Documents" (and other important folders) to one of the other partitions. This way, if you ever have to reinstall Windows, you don't need to back your documents and such up, they'll still be there.
