So I've been having issues for the past month or so with my PC, it randomly freezes at any given time and sometimes becomes operational again and sometimes not.

After taking it to a repair shop it was diagnosed with faulty ram, so after buying new ram (Corsair Vengeance Pro 16gb) the problem still persisted and again the ram was faulty so i had it replaced.
I also bought a new motherboard to see if that was the issue as well and after having the PC running fine for about a week the problem has come back.
Could the issue be a faulty PSU?

System Specs:
I5 3550
MSI Z77A-GD80
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB Ram
Asus GTX560
Corsair GS600 PSU
Samsung 256GB SSD (boot)
WD Blue 500GB Storage Drive

Load real temp and post CPU + GPU temps to us. How high temps are when systems freezez. It can be PSU. Now if you buy a new one take seasonicor rosewill.
XFX is good too. Corsairs are not so good. Here is couple goos PSU.

Mobo Id take rather gigabyte or asus.
Buy new video card. I think that is the issue.
GTX 760 is good pick.

I was using HWMonitor to read temperatures, the temperatures seemed normal CPU temp didn't really exceed 40 degrees celssius and the GPU was around 58 degrees celsius max, everything else was in the normal range as well

Can you remove GPU heatsink and put in new thermalpaste?
Second is PSU.. Buy new one. Seasonic XFX Rosewill. They are really good.
Or maybe sell out old parts and buy new build? Really hard to tell whats is wron your build. Hope you get ig going. Did you buy same mobo that you did have before?

Already applied new thermal paste to the CPU when i was re-installing the motherboard as well as an after market cooler, the motherboard is also different from the old one i was using.
The power supply I'm looking at at the moment is:

also if i were to buy a new graphics card would the power supply be sufficient to run:

Omg, hard to read these recommendations from a person that hardly knows anything about computers and how to fix problems.

First, don't just say "buy that, then that, and also that", sounds the same as "Buy a new computer", stupid solution. Need to identify what's the cause of the problem and then fix it, don't make any assumptions and waste money on unnecessary replacements.

Second, if the problem is finally identified and hardware is at fault, don't make fact-less recommendation of "buy this video card, it's really good" or "this 'brand' is good, this one is okay, this one is not so good". Who are you? Some IT professional? I doubt that... So your recommendations are misleading and unhelpful, you're just giving your own personal opinion about each item.

Thirdly, it obviously can't be graphics card, the computer is freezing, not the graphics are slow or something when you play some game. It's more related to memory, CPU or motherboard which connects those parts.

Lastly, he was showing MSI GeForce GTX760 and then you say it's too expensive, better to buy GTX680 for almost the same price???? which one is better??? stop misleading people if you don't have serious help to offer in solving the problem.
