Absolutley not. Windows 7 doesn't care how big your drive is, as long as it's big
enough for Windows 7 itself, which 320 GB definitely is. You will have a lot of
unused space, given that your needs were modest enough to not even fill an 80 GB
drive.
That said, it is a Really Good Idea to get another, external hard drive for backup
purposes. Windows 7's built-in system backup feature is actually quite useful,
but it needs an external hard drive to store your backups. Backing up to a series
of DVD-Rs is possible, but slow, clunky, and error-prone.
