I just a small tip. Seeing as you're relatively new to actually taking photos, I suggest you keep using your kit lens and your other stuff. I am a firm believer of using something until one feel limited by it. You keep taking photos. Read about composition (the hard part of photography) and experiment. You'll find out what you really want to focus on, and you'll outgrow your equipment. When you feel limited by your kit lens, then it's time to invest!
i.e. You you never seem to be able to get as much of a landscape into the frame as you want, that may be an indication of an interest in landscape photography of huge landscapes. 18mm on a crop body might not be wide enough. Or maybe you can't get close enough to the birds at 55mm? Then a new tele might be an upgrade. You need to find out how your lens limits you, and see what you want in new equipment. Remember, the camera and lens aren't taking your photo, you can your photo - with your camera and lens.
If you feel your case isn't living up to your expectations, then perhaps you've "outgrown" it. You may feel limited by it. At some point you'll feel limited by your pop-up flash, and want to invest in a new flash. This is, in my opinion, the "correct" way to improve. Use what you have until you feel limited by it.
Also, I'd recommend having two smaller memory cards instead of one big - you might lose it, or it could be broken If that happens 1000 meters above sea level in your small tent 90000000 miles from civilisation, you'd wish you had another one
