Hello.
Recently I encountered bsod's (dxgmms1.sys) during games (BF4 to be precise). At first i ignored it (was thinking - battlefield 4 is still bugged so probably its the culprit). Today i had 3 bsod's like that. I decided to test my power supply with OCCT (why? because its my oldest part in my rig and im still stuck on my TakeMe 500w). My pc crashed after like 2 minutes on OCCT power supply test. Conclusion: not enough power (or am i wrong?).
My current rig:
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
Phenom II 965 @ 3,4 (can OC to 4ghz safe - due to test i decided to go on default clocks)
16gb Geil Dragon cl9 @1600mhz
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
Gigabyte HD7870 OC 2GB OC
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
My problem is that i'm not up to date on power supplies and i really don't know what to pick (what power, barnd etc). I was thinking that a 700W would be fine but correct me if i'm wrong
Any suggestions would be helpfull.
