Need more info that that!

Are you overclocked?
Did you reinstall Windows?
Are all drivers up to date ?

And more importantly, what does Event Logs say?

Windows logs > System > Look for Errors and Criticals around the times of the crashes

Find Event Viewer by clicking start > type: Event Viewer

Also, your Win 7 does not say SP1, are you up to date ?

BSOD is his screenname, I don't think he means he's having BSODs.

Yep, got the Radeon HD 7870 XT (Tahiti LE). I can play 99% games of today at 1080p on Ultra settings with ~55+ FPS. :)

A soild system. SDD might be the only upgrade needed. If your looking to upgrade the gpu then AMD's Vulcano are about to come.

Upgrade possiblities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motherboard to P/Z-75/77 to overclock non overclock cpu to +400. You can also try to increase the BLCK from 99,99MHz to 105MHz as best (You will need to try, however I can't say if this works with B75-chipset). This will also enable SLI/Crossfire configuration. H77-chipset can enable Crossfire.

SSD can be added as it has already been mentioned.

GPU can upgrade if wanted. If you need one now Tahiti LE (know as 7870 TX). A bit overclocked and it will perform like 7950.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What power supply and case do you have?

I do have the 7870 TX.

I use a Corsair CX600. I know it isn't the best but I was under a budget. I'll probably upgrade sometime at the end of the year or by next year. I'll get a mech keyboard, an SSD and a better PSU.

What mechanical keyboard; I am going to review one and I can advice your maybe. Tell me what you will use and I will tell you what may be interesting. Expect it to be expensive, if you compare to rubber dome, so around 60$ up to 140$ depending on the keyboard's feature.

From the limited options I have in my country, I'll go with the Razer Blackwidow 2013 or one of the Cooler Master Storms. Haven't decided yet. Still a long time to go.

Where do you live? I will look at those to options. You might want to reconsider CM Storms as the option; I read bad experiences from other uses so I would say away from the models that use micro-usb as connector.

Here is a review regarding the second option.

Tell me where the emphases lies; not all Cherry MX switches will suit you and for what your needs.

I rushed over here because I thought he was having "blue screens of death". (LOLOL)
I saw "ASUS", and thought, "Nice choice". Then I saw "Seagate" and thought, "there is your BSOD." Haha

Nice rig though.

Seagate hasn't played nice with you? I own numerous Seagate drives and none so far have caused any issues, I actually own various Hitachi, Western Digital and Seagate drives and by far Hitachi has caused me the most issues and frustrations, Bottle necking mainly in the R/W side of things.
