Just get a 40gb SSD as your bootdrive (~$160 ish) to make windows lightning fast. Install Windows and your programs on it and then have a separate 1TB+ storage drive for your files etc. Only morons buy large SSDs given the current prices.
I have the same setup; 40gb SSD w/ windows 7 on & my editing software. Pair of Samsung F3 1TB drives (best ones around imo) as main storage.
As for the rest of the system, I'd strongly urge you to source the components yourself and build it (or pay someone a small amount to build it) as you're gonna be saving hundreds doing that. I understand it's less hassle but buying pre-build brand PC's is a joke these days.
