Hi guys hope you are all having a lovely day!

I am in need of a new PSU as the one i brought was not good enough. (shuts off during gaming)

Here is what I am currently running:

case: Cooler Master N-Series N400 - USB 3.0 ATX Case

SanDisk 128GB Pulse SSD - 2.5" SATA-III
Seagate 2TB BARRACUDA 3.5" SATA-III
Gigabyte GA Z87 HD3 Motherboard
2GB Asus Nvidia GTX 760
Intel Core i7-4770K, 1150, Haswell with a Corsair H60 liquid cooling
Kingston HyperX Genesis 16 GB RAM Memory (4x 4GB) DDR3 1600mhz

Case has 2 Fans plugged in and I am putting another fan aswell.

Any help would be really awesome! Thank you everybody at Toms Hardware! xD

Thank you all, Daniel.

You need a 450W power supply minimum, 500W would be better.
The supply needs to have two 6 pin PCI-E power connectors.

Which supply is best depends on your budget.
The following supplies are all OK, but get better as you go down the list:
Corsair CX500
Antec HCG 520
Seasonic S12II 520W
Seasonic G 550

That Cronus has 750W and 80plus, and still wasn't enough for your system? Something is weird here, I've never heard of Cronus but seems like it shouldn't shut down your PC.

A 550W supply is plenty, but if you want a more powerful supply a 650W would be overkill.
RM series are good but expensive.
Consider the Seasonic G 550 or Seasonic G 650.

Not only did the RM 750(failed HardOCP's lab review) & RM 850 have thermal issues, they have lower grade
Taicon capacitors (secondary filtering) than an enthusiast level PSU should have. These are budget level
caps in an enthusiast PSU.

I wouldn't purchase one.
