Generic PSU's will work fine but are not very reliable when it comes to high power use. The majority of people reccomend quality name brand PSU's the have a 80 plus rating. As stated above when generic PSU's fail they normally cause damage to other parts also.

Then upgrade your PSU, you should be able to get a quality PSU for under $50. And for a GPU go with a 7790, 7850 2gb, 650 Ti boost all can be found for under $150.

Good PSU? YES! Will not run the GTX 670 you will need more watts to run that. For the 670 I would go with a 600w or better PSU. Remember you want a balance, your current CPU would bottleneck with the GTX 670.
