If you only plan to run the OS on the SSD then you can easily drop that down to a 30GB SSD. I would then skip the 2TB and go for a 7200rpm drive for your programs, though some companies are not producing 1 to 2TB drives that are 7200rpm. First ones were only "green drives" which means they vary, up to 7200rpm but at idle they drop.
Also, something I did not look into was your CD/DVD drive, for a good CD/DVD burner/player that will do everything is probably around 30-40USD. One thing I would recommend is two, it sounds wasteful, but there are many times I like to watch a movie and play a game which still requires a CD.
