I'm also not sure 8GB is enough for the main drive, I know Win7 x64 requires like 20gb for install.

Thanks Scott
With your advice in mind I ended up getting a 250GB SSD and a 3TB HDD to solve a few issues.
Here's what I did...
Starting with the original system
500GB HDD
Window 8.1
Core i5 2500K O/C 4.2GHz
8GB 2200 MHz RAM
Used MLINK and XCOPY and moved all program data and libraries from Drive C: to Drive D:
I made sure to leave all the program exe's in their original locations on Drive C:
I made no changes to the registry.
Then...
I Cloned the old HDD C: to the new SSD
The result is 37GB of Windows system and program executable data on SSD Drive C:
480GB of program data on HDD Drive D:
2TB+ left for storage and expansion.
Works great!
