If you're willing to spend the money to replace the parts you mentioned above my vote is to consider buying a ups first. The filter feature is what saved me.
I understand the "filter" feature (in the most basic sense). It's not as much "willing" to spend the money as "needing" to spend the money. The computer/internet is ALL I do outside of work, especially during this time of year. I'll probably buy a PSU first as mine is 5 years old and it's been run pretty much continuously during that time. MTBF is supposed to be 100k hours and (if I did the math right), 5 years is only about 50k hours but that's still quite a bit. It wouldn't surprise me if it was going out. I'll add a UPS to my next build whether that's this winter or a couple years from now.
