Gigabyte makes horrible boards. They tend not to last long, thou they might have fixed that issue since I last dealt with them. I tend to stick with Asus for boards. I've been using them for so long they got my brand loyalty. I will always recommend an Asus board to replace another brand. Just make sure that the new board you get is compatible with the RAM you have.

As for the harddrives, you might want to switch into SATA if you havent already. The new SATA WD's arent bad on the pocket, and run well.
