A)
Logitech G27 + G9x=$300
or
B)
ADATA XPG Gaming Series 4GB
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155
Intel Core i5-2500K
~$380
AND Maybe Nvidia 560 if I sell my kidney
or
C)
Nokia N9
Always wanted to have a racing wheel for PC but I feel like my old E8400 & ATI 4890 is quite outdated by now...but not sure if it's worth updating it at all. I can play many games just fine, which is WoW, Diablo 2 but..not sure how it will do against Diablo3
Kinda leaning towards racing wheel, might be fun playing Dirt or nfs games

B but get two G.Skill Ripjaws X 4 ghz @ 1600 mhz... dont forget that you'll need nice cooling for the processor!

Do you have G27 also Leo?
I dislike G.Skill. My other option would be Patriot memory1600MHz. ADATA XPG Gaming Series 4GB runs at 1600MHz also.
I already have Corsair H50 for Liquid Cooling.

 It depends on your level of "expertness", if you play GTR2/GTR Evo/rFactor/iRacing online at competitive levels then the G27 is the best choice, otherwise if you play just for fun a Driving Force Gt (rather good, ~100$) would be enough, imo  |

Most all of them use the same chips anyway.
I wouldn't say any brand is ahead.

It's not available on Amazon.com. I have $400 giftcard there. My options are really limited and I have never purchased computer-related items with them.
For that matter Amazon.com does not even carry I5-2000k, just from third party sellers 
I visited Amazon.co.uk but only saw one Panatec wheel but not sure if I would be able to use giftcard for the order and let alone ship it to USA. It was just one seller with 1 rating of 80% :\ |

Same chips != equally performing chips. That's where testing and binning chips comes into play. However, the focus on the speed of RAM is greatly exaggerated, esp. for people that only play games. There is no noticeable difference between 1333 and 1600 in Dirt, WoW etc... It's mostly a feel-good-about-my-system thing when you bench.
If you have a top tier machine on the other hand, it can make a slight difference depending on task.
