7/10 considering 10/10 is something really really good. Don't get a WD hard drive. It will corrupt your computer later down in the track unless WD have really picked their game up. From my experience WD is not very good, they always have bad ratings, that's why they're cheap. Everything else looks good but I would have though an i5 is a bit outdated seeing as I have an i7 which is already years old. Maybe also think about getting more ram. 8GB may seem big but you usually want to get at least 8GB so maybe 12gb is a good amount. (Only if you want a really quick PC) Other than that it's a pretty good build, it would run the latest games.

I usually go with Seagate, Toshiba or Samsung hard drives. I find they are the best and most reliable. Even Hitachi can be good at times but I usually go for Samsung or Seagate. I know they make good quality drives, all my Seagate and Samsung drives have never failed on me.

Hitatchi has never been good. Never say that again.
Seagate is so so.
Unless you are getting a SSD there's no real reason to go with Samsung

So with that said Western Digital or don't bother.

I know Hitachi isn't that great but it's an improvement from Western Digital's stock hard drives seeing as both companies have some sort of partnership. Hitachi gets the job done, at least it doesn't corrupt itself after some usage.

No it just dies after it leaves the factory or 2 months into use. They have always been shit drives. I don't think you know much about what you are talking about. Define stock drives btw. I wasn't aware you could get them modified.
