I have a i5 2500k OC'd to 4ghz, GTX660, SSD, HDD, 8GB of 1600Mhz ram and a 500W Mushkin PSU.
I bought the PSU when I first built my PC and it was much lower spec so I had no problems, but since I upgraded my GPU from a 550ti to a 660 my PC has randomly started restarting in some games. It's isolated to games that are more demanding on the system too.
So is this likely being caused by the PSU? None of my components ever reach temperatures above 50°c because I have water cooling so it isn't overheating.
If it is what PSU would you recommend?
I've had a look at these and I would prefer not to go over £60 but if you recommend it I'll have to consider, so far I've found these.
