A WD black would fit the bill. I'm not sure what they go for outside the us but they are around $60 here.

The drive needs to be a 2.5" drive for this case. It doesn't house the regular 3.5" Seagate/WD drives.....

Segate barracuda,WD Blue

And would the node 202's built in PSU be good enough?

You can get both Blues and Blacks in 2.5" variants. They may not be 1TB but they are avaliable. You don't really have to worry about HDDs when dealing with PSU requirements as they draw so little power. With your other components you will be fine on 450w I run an i7 and 290X on a 500W PSU, as long as you don't plan to OC you will be fine.

Great choice. That is the drive that I had in mind for you when I posted. WD is a reliable brand and their drives are of good quality.

That would do the trick.  I've heard that WD blacks are awesome, so it should work fine.

 

The PSU should be completely fine for the parts that you have.  If you were going with a more power hungry GPU i'd be more concerned
