Hey that's cool, around 50% are there.
My two cents...I've been there for years now. I'm glad as I've blown too much money over the years. I think you just eventually need to really know what you're after, which may take a lot of trial and error (or may not).
1 - guitar and pickups (the pickups in my Wolfgang are a-OK with me, I like how they are hot and push the amp...plus I dig fat single coils and P90's...thin sounding pickups are right out)
2 - amp tone (I'm mid gain for sure...high gain has never felt right and has never sounded open enough to me, but I like enough gain so I'm not fighting the amp either, I use my volume knob a lot so the amp cleaning up well is a must...Peters Polaris is my King Of The Amps, I could sell all of my amps except for that one if I had to)
3 - speaker/cab (this is more important than most men think (I dig MC90's in combos and greenbacks and H30's in 4x12 cabs)
4 - boosts, effects and such are just sprinkles to me, a delightful topping that keeps changing from time to time, probably always will with me.
