PSU blows up, you're cheating yourself with the overspecced CPU and underspecced GPU. Try to get up to a 4850, if you can't pull the processor down to a 7750+ BE or E5200 or E7300 or something.

The Basiq is the best of the three, but like I said it's not that great.
RAM brand doesn't matter, just pick what's more highly reviewed/has better heatsinks/warranty/timings. Same thing with the video cards.
