so yeah, my computer is 2.5 year old now, changed memory on it recently, tried a new gfx(wouldn't work with the computer for some reason, "seemed" to lack power to run it but it should have) new SSD( OCZ Agility 3 120gb which won't let me update the firmware and keeps crashing even after sending it in and getting it back twice. it freezes and doesnt show up on a warm boot, have to do a cold boot) and during reloadui i sometimes get a memory error. And the AHCI doesn't seem to work.
so basicly I tried replacing some parts with completely new parts (built 4-5 pcs previously never had a problem with them. this one was bought prebuilt by "komplett") but now I'm giving up on it after struggling with it the last 3 months and just decided to abandon the either thing and starting off fresh.
basicly here is what I got so far but I want to cut some prices down if possible.

The Case I'm 100% certain I want as well as the PSU even tho its kinda overkill.
I'm uncertain about the SSD, cause it could very well be that my current SSD is 100% function then again I could test this and buy it later, or I could just buy both and have the Crosair as my operation system and my OCZ as secondary for programs etc, I could ofc run it in raid but considering that I had some issues with the agility 3 that would be risky. I am considering asking to get my money back tho since this has happen twice now.
so yeah as everyone else I want the best bang for the buck, and I would prefer a ASUS MB and a Crosair Memory, but open for other suggestions of course!
also was considering throwing in a http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/killer-nic-m1/
can get it for 40% off.. but is it worth it?
anyways! feed back and suggestions would be great, thanks in advance! and yes the system is going to be OC and will likely use get watercooling for it at a later time!
