Welcome.
FYI, I never use Windows for anything.
Linux for servers (like this site and other servers). MacOS for desktop work (actually, I have four Macs, one 12 core MacPro, one MacMini and two Mac Book Airs).
Today I just bought a new 1TB (actually 960GB, Transcend 855) SSD for my MacPro and installed it already (removing the original 256GB drive), and it works great.
Now that I have more "on board" SSH (internal), it renders video (Adobe After Effects) about twice as fast. One complex (lots of effects) video which took 1.5 hours to render, before the upgrade, rendered today in 40 minutes after the upgrade.
I currently have 64GB of RAM, but I'm considering upgrading to max out at 128GB so I can render faster, especially since I'm prone to spelling errors in After Effects which has no grammar or spelling checker (that I know of). Haha
Anyway, I really suggest you get off "Windows" and move on to a really great unix-based OS like Linux or MacOS
If you want pretty windows and a slick UI, then go with the Mac. If you just want a raw server, then go with Linux. That's what I do, at least. Linux on the servers (without any GUI, terminal only) and Macs to run all the "eye candy" apps on the desktop (rending video with Adobe After Effects, Premier Pro, Camtasia, etc).
Cheers and Good Luck.
