OK, so i am looking to make me a really good Gaming PC but of course im on a budget and i dont want to fly blind into this one like i did my last, The current Computer i have is :
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX
RAIDMAX RX-735AP 735W ATX Power supply
ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS
ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 video card
Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell Quad-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 1150 84W BX80646I54670K Desktop Processor
Team Dark Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer (CLW0222) Water/Liquid CPU Cooler 120MM
ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor
plust 3 SSD

This is my current rig and it plays games ok but its gotten here lately whenever i play a game or sometimes just sitting idling it will bluescreen. So im want to play high end games at decent settings what would you suggest? please help me! this was my first self build and its done good for a year but i think its time to make changes or something! also i have been looking at the website Cyberpowerpc.com and it allows you to build custom pc's so if you wanted to use that as a ref that is fine. My budget is 800 bucks at the moment! Thanks in advance for the help!

Alright upgrade the graphics card and the power supply . So this is the plan , upgrade your power supply . Then reinstall Windows and back up your files as the blue screen can be from a faulty file in Windows . So reinstall Windows .

Ideas :
Build your own computer, as the ibuypowerpc isn't as ideal .
Reuse the current parts to save money (DVD Burner , 32Gb Of Ram )
Now some tips :
Raid max is terrible when it comes to quality . But recently they released their new Raid Max Vampire winter series products which have average quality . So If you want to stick with raid max , the vampire 700w will server justice .
Motherboards are important as they pack features and quality . I recommend Asus , Gigabyte And Msi. Boards to avoid are biostar and asrock , unless your on a very low budget .
Processor: depends on what you want to do . Amd is cheaper but for higher end builds , Intel is here .
Case : NZXT Is Best , S340 ,H440 ,Phantom series
Ssds: Samsung or Crucial Or Ocz . I recommd at least 240gb to store your favorite games on .
Hdd: Western digital spanks Seagate . Both are great though .

Would you reuse any of the parts i already have or did i just make a crappy decision to begin with? And any idea why it started blue screening on me all of a sudden because it didnt always do it. and i will be running games such as Fallout 4 GTA 5 FarCry 4 etc just to give you a idea of what im wanting it to do!

So anyone else want to throw in their suggestions? all i know is that my current system is good but something is going on with it. It shouldnt blue screen with the WHEA Uncorrectable Error every time i play a game or just leave it idling. So im thinking of upgrading the GTX 770 to a GTX 970 any thoughts on that, and im going for a better power supply. You can see my current specs if you scroll up to first post. Thanks for the help and please if you think of anything that could help let me know!!
