Hello, so my current PC is having consistant blue screens, and now I can't even get it to boot off of windows. In the off chance my parts fail, I am looking for a good amount of PC parts that might help me upgrade my PC

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Christmas time

Budget Range: 300-400$/Before rebatesw
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, light video editing in premiere and after effects, productivity

Are you buying a monitor: no

Parts to Upgrade: GPU,CPU,RAM,PSU,MOBO,hard drive

Do you need to buy OS: most likely no, will probably pirate

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com

Location: Austin,Tx

Parts Preferences: Best experience/ Best part

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: no

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: No need for case or optical drive, will recycle

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: PC very unstable, might be better to start fresh.

Anyone have any ideas?
