can the raspberry pi 3 be able to run a BL server? ive been wondering about that and the usage of the rapsberry pi 3's usefulness.

ARM processors cannot run x86 based programs. So no.

This is the build I currently have and I guess I just want suggestions/recommendations. The current build leaves me like 100 dollars that I can play around with and still be in budget.

Thats good to hear. I mainly just want to be able to play Witcher 3/Dark Souls 3/Ect on pretty high settings without any lag or anything. Im hoping this build will allow that.

Don't get a Seagate HDD. Get almost anything else.

again i'll bring this up that its all personal experience and little statistics, i've had way more success with seagate over WD

On the other hand, the last Seagate I had failed after a year.

Statistically, Seagate has some of the highest failure rates.

I was honestly thinking about dropping the HDD altogether and just getting a big SSD.

Im open to suggestions.

The only HDD that has ever failed in a PC in my entire family was mine, a Seagate 2TB drive.

Statistically, Seagate has some of the highest failure rates.

Depends.
If you buy an older seagate you should be fine. I have had a Seagate 1TB external for about 3 years now and it has not failed yet.

"we pulled 100 students from this town in alabama to test if they know geography (this represents the us), then we pulled 10000 students from a few high league colleges in the UK to see if they know geography. The studies shown that the UK definitely knows more about geography"
unless i am mistaken, they had 1600 WD drives against 31,000 Seagate drives. The data is skewed.
