My current hard drive in my computer is starting to fail and I need to look into getting a new one. Problem is I've been out of the computer building/upgrading world for a VERY long time now and am a little thrown off. My current hard drive is an old 500GB Seagate HDD primarily used for web browsing, watching live streams, and gaming. I was thinking about getting an SSD for the faster performance and loading but reviews on newegg are kind of worrying me. A lot of DOA and failures within months of buying them. To top that off I wouldn't know what to get or what my computer could handle to begin with so I'm hoping you all can help make this just a little bit easier on me.

I'd like something around 500GB as I don't really need as much space as a 1TB+ (plus cheaper price point) and pricewise I can afford something as much as $70 before taxes.
