Best 7,200rpm for windows drive

I need to get a new hard drive for my C: drive
(just for os, programs and games, i store things on a second drive)

ive heard a lot of good things about the new WD black drives
and i heard that the samsung 640GB is good (one platter?)

but really i dont need anything bigger than 160GB

i dont think i'll go for a raptor; noisy, expensive etc

so preferably cheap

, quiet and fast lol

cheers
