Bought since 2012, is it a sign that a change has to come? Updated firmware recently, thought the freezing issue was my HDD, swapped out the suspected HDD and still not solved so i guess its the SSD, since everything im doing hangs and recently I have to restart my com.

Yep ! Usually the freezes will just be slightly awhile then the com will come back to life.
Only recently I had to hit the restart button.. I had a ram problem with my notebook last time and the whole thing just BSODed on me so I knew roughly it wasnt a ram problem. Also, the HDD light just stays on meaning something is reading on the HDD/SSD while it freezes.

It can be either ram or your HDD/SSD.
Ram can cause random hangs also. So best is still to check first. Once you have use memtest86 to test and found no errors most probably is your SSD.
If its the SSD, whats the most reliable SSD in the market these days? looking at 256gb..

Crucial (MX100, M550) Intel (530, 730), Samsung (840evo, 840pro, 850pro)
Note that Crucial's M4 was conceived during a time just before ssds were completely commoditized
