Could this be a power supply issue?

I just re speced my system I was using a AMD Phenom 965 OC to 4ghz and a HD6950 on a biostar mobo. I now have a 3770k CPU OC to 4.5ghz and a GTX 770 on a MSI mobo. While playing crysis the screen will go black (system stays on and stable as I can hear the sound) It will start showing the image again if I look in different directions. Then I got a very random issue in Far Cry 3. It looked like the GPU failed because there was some major artifacting. This just started happening and Im wondering if the changes I made to the system may have brought my PSU to the edge of what it can do. I have a Thermaltake 750w PSU in my PC now. I had a GTX 680 in my PC for a few weeks and was getting the same issues with crysis having the blacked out screen. Im thinking because the same issue happened across two different card its not the GPU. I guess it could be but Im hoping I dont have to RMA the GPU to newegg lol.
