I built my first PC about 3 weeks ago, and when I booted it up it worked fine for about a day until I noticed that very mundane tasks were being unresponsive. Google Chrome for example, becomes unresponsive fairly often, when I open a new tab etc, same thing with Windows Explorer. Now it only lasts about 20-30 seconds and it usually just becomes responsive again without having to close the program.
On top of this I was having fairly common bluescreens, and so I spent a good amount of time Googling to figure out what was wrong. Eventually the bluescreens stopped, and so I just put up with the unresponsiveness and continued to use my PC for gaming, because that seemed to work perfectly, all games run without a hitch on max.
Until today, when my PC was being incredibly unresponsive and it bluescreened for the first time in 2 weeks, so I thought it was about time I asked for help, because I'm pretty clueless at this point.
My specs are:
i5 2500k 3.3ghz
Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3 motheroard
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3-1600 RAM (2 sticks of 4gb)
Corsair Nova Series 2 60GB 2.5" SSD (my boot drive with Windows 7 installed)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 1.25 gb
Corsair 600W ATX12V PSU
Samsung SH-B123L/RSBP optical drive
Here is a link to the exact parts I bought
USB peripherals installed are: a Cyborg RAT 3 mouse, a Razer Lycosa keyboard, and a Netgear N300 wireless dongle (this is a new addition)
P.S a clean Windows 7 install didn't work, I tried. I've ran memtest with no errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading.
