I got an extended warranty ( 15 % purchase price) on the CPU + Mobo only.
You shouldn't need it for anything else.

"only" ?! -- I'ld save that much any day. You don't need 32 : try 16 .

You don't need 1 TB for the SSD ! Mine is 240 GB , which is plenty.
Here are my partitions :
GB
SSD sda 1 boot 1 /boot
2 root 50 / (incl opt usr var)
3 swap 8 swap
5 home 60 /home
6 vault 20 /home/purslow/vault
7 local 20 /usr/local
8 src 10 /usr/src
9 portage 20 /usr/portage (distfiles 5,8)
10 z 35 /z
total 224
tmpfs -- /tmp
HDD sdb 1 data 20 /home/purslow/...
2 y 300 /y
3 Mint 20 /mnt/mint
5 Mageia 20 /mnt/mageia
unused 660
total 1000
All fmt'd Reiser, except sda1 ext2 , sda3 swap , sdb3/5 ext4
'vault' is where I move stuff I'm not using at the moment :
work I've finished, downloaded material I haven't got to yet.
'z' is a big hangar where I throw big files around, back-ups etc ;
it also contains a tmp dir for emerging LO + FF .
'data' is some extra material I don't use often.
'y' is for back-ups & is not normally mounted.
Mint helped when installing Gentoo, Mageia is sentimental :
both mb useful to show friends who ask re Linux.
All the sizes are really overkill for what I actually use.
