Something in my setup has gone bad...

Gigabyte DS3
E6300
2x1GB Team DDR (the stuff that has OPB written on it with a sharpie)
X1900XT
OCZ Powerstream 600w

Anyways I'm thinking it's either Mobo, Ram or PSU. I've been out of loop for a while so I really have no idea what's good and what's not these days. I need to be back up and running by Wednesday so I need your suggestions on a new Mobo and RAM. If I wasn't so short on time I would do the research myself but since I am I'm going to rely on you guys to point me in a good direction.

Price range for both the RAM and Mobo is about $350.

DFI Blood Iron for the motherboard. Crucial Ballistix for the RAM.

Thanks for the replys!

Since the Blood Iron and Ballistix are cheaper than I expected I might as well grab a PSU too since I'm thinking that might be it too.

I see the OCZ PowerStreams are EOL so any suggestions on a PSU around $100-120?

I have a Silverstone PSU, and I absolutely love it. I've heard great things about the Corsair PSU as well.

You can probably grab a 520watt Corsair PSU. I have the 620 and it works wonderfully and those PSUs are very good all around.
