Hello again.. I have recently built my computer and with the help of this forum and all the advices i got from here everything is working perfectly and nothing went wrong for me..

But I am already looking into few upgrades only because im getting greedy =)..
So far i have 2 Option to upgrade...
At the moment i have 8gb of ram but i want to upgrade to 36gb or i can get a new SSD probably 128gb samsung 830 SSD Or the intel one...(please give me alot of advice on SSD please)...

While looking into SSD i have seen alot of people complaining about SSD over alot of different faults and issues... Is this because the SSD technology is fairly new or just fault of manufacturer or the users... Because id rather get RAM over SSD if SSDs are proven unstable...

lastly my current system is;
i5 3570K overclocked @ 4.1ghz
Sapphire Hd 7950 2GB
Z77 GIGABYTE Mother board
8gb cosair vengence RAM 1833mhz (but it seems my comp wont let me set to 1833)
1TB seagate 7200RPM 64mb cache SATA3 hard drive
ozc 700w power supply

and u can prob see my budget is around 150$ To 200$ mark so anything within that range if there are any other things that i can upgrade please recommand me, thanks!
 
what is this for? if gaming there is no point at all in the extra RAM.

And there is a setting in the bios that should let you put the RAM at 1866

I second that. Leave the ram as is, or upgrade to max 16GB (you won't use that much anyway, unless you are planning on rendering Pixar quality animations, in which case you need many computers :) ) Take the difference from the RAM, add it to the money you wanted to spend on the 128GB SSD, and get yourself 512GB Crucial M4 SSD (you will be able to afford it, as at the level of 32GB, RAM is insanely expensive, you will most likely have some money left too). You will see great difference in speed.
