*sigh*
Here we go again, more building advice? XD
Here's the build i want to do:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6byXMp

As you can see, the motherboard i've chosen is the Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P, however i'm looking at other motherboards.

With the options being:
1. Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
2. Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P
3. Asus M5A97 R2.0
Which is the best?

(BTW in case you didn't check the link, the processor is an FX-8350.)

Please don't buy a Seagate drive. You'll thank me later.

This particular drive has on-par reviews with a competing WD drive. Why not exactly?

Seagate drives are notorious for their much higher failure rate than their competitors. I've had both and the WD drive still runs flawlessly after 2 years, however my Seagate drive died after 5 months. It is a common issue with the company. Their drives are not reliable.
