Yesterday at 12 am I hooked up my EVGA Geforce gtx 760 graphics card after work, I plugged it in, power the bad boy on and it runs. Install everything, now its time to play games.

Fastforward to right now, I was playing Sniper Elite V2 and the computer just randomly shuts down, this did not happen with my intergrated intel hd 400 video card(was trash). This never happened with my Geforce gtx 460. I touch the psu, i can feel some heat, but it isnt to hot. Im not sure why its doing this. Here are my specs (dxdiag and typed):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 8076MB RAM
Video card: EVGA geforce gtx 760
DAC type: Internal
Display Memory: 1696 MB
Dedicated Memory: 64 MB
Shared Memory: 1632 MB
Motherboard: z77 extreme 4 asrock recommended by toms hardware
Powersupply: Silvertstone Srider essentials 500w
Tower: MSI Tc-128
Cpucooler: Hyper 212 EVO COolermaster
Solid state drive: Vertex4 2.5 solid state drive.
Hardrive: Seagate 1 terabyte external hardrive
Im thinking I need a higher psu( like 700w or 600w), if not I dont understand why its shutting off itself like this. Only when I got this card it is doing so.
