I need help upgrading/replacing my 2010 build because it's lagging and runs horrible now BSODs. My price limit can range from $600-$1200 it's negotiable. I'm open to any suggestions or builds any help really.

Uses:
- gaming mainly (not too hardcore but still don't want it to be slow)
- general purposes, etc

Items I already have:
- cooler master HAF 922 case
- keyboard and mouse
- 19" monitor (this was back in 2010) for sure will need to upgrade but that can wait. Still open for any suggestions.


Items I'm sure are still good but if needed can be replaced.
- Antec BP550 plus 550W power supply
- OCZ vortex 2 115gb SSD
- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

Items that definitely need:
- CPU Intel preferrably
- graphics card
- MOBO
- another HDD/SSD
- RAM
- liquid cooling system
- OS


Thanks guys.
