Hi,
The main components of my build are as follows:
GPU: ASUS GTX 670 2gb
CPU: FX 8350 (nothing is overclocked)
MoBo: M5A97 R2.0
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

So I just finished playing about an hour of BF4 and noticed that the PSU was running pretty hot.
I´ve used this PSU for over 2 years (with another CPU and MoBo) and never had any trouble, theoretically the combination of my components should not exceed 400w, but I get the sense something might blow up.

Does anyone know if I should be concerned about playing more and running the risk of frying my PSU?

If this is the case I was looking at this PSU and was hoping if someone could tell me if it is enough for me.

I appreciate any feedback you can give me :)

Probably around $70, I would have it shipped to Mexico and that´s going to cost me a bit.
