Pecon:
Well, the WD vs Seagate is probably mostly just a matter of opinion. I'd still highly recommend slashing the processor down a notch to get an SSD in that build. The SSD does so much more work for you in the end than a strong processor when you're just doing typical stuff.

In my opinion, I think you ought to drop to a lower price processor and throw in a WD harddrive + SSD combo in there. SSD's are what actually give the performance boost most 'normal' people would notice.

I don't really think an SSD is necessary for a few people in their late 50's. :P
Although if you know of a better price/performance processor and a respectable WD drive without effecting price too much, that would be nice.

Swat 3:
An SSD heavily decreases loading times, and with my SSD, my computer boots in about 10-15 seconds (and this is only because for some reason my computer takes a bit to POST).

To nice PC building person, you should go to reddit.com/r/buildapc and go to the IRC they have. Great people on that chat, they'll take care of you.

my 3tb Segate is still going strong

your sample size is too small and therefore does not properly represent a real-world average of fail rates; you also didn't include the age of all of the drives

data was collected through thousands of drives btw

Bisjac:
People must be dropping laptops with hdds, or raiding up and ultra writing stuffloads of data for 365 non stop.

Because i have never in my life experienced a failed hd of any type or brand
