RAM, G.Skill or Corsair(both life time warranty obviously, G.Skill RMA is damn fast), only go Kingston when you really have no choice since I've hated them since day 1 because while people praised it, I know the pieces of shit they really are....... I gave them my middle finger from day 1.

"Lifetime Warranty" is usually a warranty for as long as the product is on the market, not your actuall lifetime. - So the warranty might end up only being days... Or it could be a decade from when you purchased it, don't let it influence your buying decision.
But to add to that... Patriot, Samsung Eco green are great too. - Also fun fact, Heat sinks on Ram do nothing, don't let it influence your buying decision unless colour/style is important.

Point 4:
Fuck..... I have seen so many people building PCs that are bottlenecked to shit or using bad parts, if you look at my build(from this thread, not my sig), that's about as balanced as you are going to get and you can still do general purpose on it since it has 1TB of HDD space.

Here is the thing about Bottlenecks, it's impossible to get rid of them and In a grand world where everything was fair and fantastic... A game/program would require equal amounts of processing time from the GPU and CPU.
Unfortunatly, it doesn't work like that in the real world, some games/programs require more from your processor or more from your graphics card and that can even change on the fly while you're running said game.
Take Battlefield 3 for example... If you play the games single player campaign, the bottleneck is going to be your graphics card as even a 5-7 year old dual-core processor can run it *very* well.
Fire up a 64 player multiplayer game with loads of vehicles, explosions and people going on, the load quickly moves from the graphics card to the processor, here even a 6 core processor will shine.
Also. Everyone should have an SSD, even your grandmother, it's the best way to make a PC feel fast and responsive.

I RMA'ed a stick to G.Skill and they just gave me a different model with the same spec lol, so yeah I know what you mean. I mentioned those because they have good prices while being reliable :D
Like you said, bottleneck is a funny thing, I aim for all around personally, and that comes with experience I guess.
On cheap builds people'd have to opt for TLC SSDs, they can be very affordable since I did get my mom a 120GB for 80 bucks not that long ago(Samsung 840.)
