Which component breaks down the most?

So, I was wondering which components break down most frequently, and which component is most likely to not work as expected (I'm forced to RMA it) when I buy it? Excluding water coolers and custom loops. No physical damage like dropping the hard drive etc, but including temperatures within the limits of the component.
I only know of PSUs lasting a really long time, and HDDs and SSDs capable of lasting upwards of 5 years.
*Brand new
*No OCing

Fans, AIOs, and HDD's, the rest either are DOA, die quickly or last a long time, although there are a few exceptions 

 

I've had DOA ram twice, but for normal use?  AMD gfx cards with a combo of dead fans and dead chips, 120mm fans get old, and my HP 23" IPS died twice under warranty

 

Edit: and one laptop hdd died

Intel 4670K /w TT water 2.0 performer, GTX 1070FE, Gigabyte Z87X-DH3, Corsair HX750, 16GB Mushkin 1333mhz, Fractal R4 Windowed, Varmilo mint TKL, Logitech m310, HP Pavilion 23bw, Logitech 2.1 Speakers

t's a shame now that Seagate/WD/HGST are all the same company now.

Western Digital bought Seagate? Since when? 

 

Or are you confusing SanDisk with Seagate?

Those are not components buddy, those are called peripherals. Thanks for the memo tho :)

They are components to the experience :D. In all seriousness though peripherals are the bottomless void where most of my money ends up.
