Upgrade advice and ideas

[Matttheriot284]

Hi. I currently have a pc that has been giving me a lot of critical failures lately so I have decided to build a new. My problem is that I have been out of the game for so long (never was too savvy anyway) that and am not at all current on todays computer tech and would appreciate anyone's input or suggestions toward which components will be a part of the new build. I have about a 1600 dollar limit. So I guess some info is in order. Ill start really quick by laying out my current build.


ASRock Gaming Fatal1ty Z97 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDM ATX Intel Motherboard

PowerColor TurboDuo Radeon R9 270X

Intel Core i5­4690 Haswell Quad­Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116989)

Crucial M550 M.2 Type 2280
(http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-512GB-Internal-Solid-CT512M550SSD4/dp/B00ITFZTHC)

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240­Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
(http://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Ripjaws-240-Pin-Desktop-F3-14900CL8D-8GBXM/dp/B007K4MZFM)

600w psu as well

Ok so this is what I want in a computer. I want a pc that has no lag when casually browsing through explorer and when running video off the internet. I know that would be an internet thing but I have fiber so focus on the comp. I don't game very much if at all however I like HD because I enjoy the detail and have a nice tv i hook it to. I ALso enjoy music but dont know if I should get a dedicated soundcard for that. I dont record. Mostly just elctromusic. So anyway since I dont know what component on my previous pc is causing all the critical failures, I dont know what from that list I can still use. I feel the processor is a good one and doesnt need to be tossed, right? The m2 ssd is most likely my prblkem but its less than 2 years old (and Im an idiot and threw away the ssticker that was on it.) but oh well. Is newegg still the way to go or does amazon have them beat yet?

This is the case Id like to have

Oh and I already have an 800psu on the way

Also I would love for it to be a visually appealing build from the window of the case. Maybe liquid cooling. IDK Throw me your ideas.
Thanks for the input!

Will the computer boot with the discreet card powered at all, even if only one monitor is connected and it is connected to the discreet card with no other monitors connected to the system at all?

If it will not, then there is either a problem with the card, the motherboard or the PSU. I'm betting it's the card. Are you still using the Corsair power supply? Are the issues with the drives all sorted out? Are they connected when you're having this problem? Have you tried booting using the GPU card without any drives except your boot drive connected?

DO YOU HAVE THE VERY MOST RECENT BIOS INSTALLED?
