Look at Security Onion.  http://securityonion.blogspot.com/

It's free, but not Windows.  Use it to get your operations capability
up and running.  (Incident response, analytics, etc.)  Odds are this
will take you at least two years with any system, so by using the free
system where everything is self-contained, you save on two years worth
of licensing AND after two years, you'll be in a better position to
identify whether or not a Windows-based commercial solution will be
worth what it costs.
