Hello, I'm looking to replace what I believe to be a faulty PSU. Under heavy loads when playing graphically demanding games, my computer randomly shuts down and restarts itself, with no blue screen. I checked my temps constantly and my CPU doesn't go over 55C and my GPU doesn't go over 65C. So I ruled out overheating. After messing around with my fan settings etc I've come to the conclusion that it's probably a dodgy PSU considering I bought a cheap 450W one to support a relatively decent gaming machine (I'll post my specs below the post). I've been looking around for a decent, brand-name PSU that's 600W or over at around £50-£55 and I'm about to order this:

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I've made a decent choice? I mainly use my PC for light video editing and gaming (DayZ, BF3, Skyrim etc) I have no expertise on power supplies so help would be appreciated, thanks.
Specs:
CPU- AMD Bulldozer FX-4170 @ 4.2GHz
MoBo- ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3
RAM- 4Gb Samsung DDR3 @ 1333MHz
GPU- AMD Radeon HD 7870 2Gb
PSU- 450W Quiet 80 PLUS dual rail PSU
HDD- 2 TB Caviar Black hard drives.
