Have you considered network-attached storage (NAS) instead of upgrading the drive in your computer? If you upgrade your current PC, you'll have to copy everything over when you get a new PC. If you have a NAS, all you need to do is let the new PC (or your laptop, if you have one) mount the drive and you're ready to roll...
If this was me doing the upgrade, I'd leave the 250GB drive in the PC as the "system" drive, holding the O/S and any key software. Everything else would get moved over to the NAS, where all my computers (present and future) can find it.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
