A 2tb hard drive wouldn't take up much more power than the 1tb would it?

Nope.

Most likely the same if its from tha same model family.

the psu in your spec isnt modular iirc

 

[Trent10182]

Ah okay didn't realise that the psu wasn't modular, and thanks for pointing out that about the ram. Does the cpu cooler come with the heat sink compound or will I need to buy some?

edit: so is this power supply okay?
