My computer has been rebooting randomly when I am gaming which is usually ffxiv or bf4. I checked my temps and it doesnt look like anything is getting hot. I want something reliable..also want it to be ablw to throw anything at it and be able to perform. My question is..what power supply should I get?

My setup is:
I5 2500k
Asus mobo p8z77-v
Cooler master hyper 212+ heatsink
(2) gtx 670 4gig superclocked edition SLI

Any help would be greatly appreciated

its just their CX and VS line really, they are made with lesser quality parts than their higher end TX or a Seasonic/XFX for that matter. the two biggest things you want to consider are quality parts, and the efficiency youll run at. that is wattage basically.
i.e if your system draws 400W it would be nice to have 650-750W PSU so you arent running the PSU at 100% load, max heat, shortest lifespan possible out of the unit. so use those two factors to make the right choice. quality brand, and some good headroom so you run at ideally 50% PSU load, but 60/70 % load isnt *bad* either

along with the already excellent suggestions, a reasonably price gold rated 750 watt (after $15 promo and another $15 rebate, if you do that)
Rosewill CAPSTONE-750 80 PLUS GOLD $99.99
Save: $40.00 (29%)
$84.99 after $15.00 rebate card
+ $15 off w/ promo code EMCYTZT5677, ends 2/13

Summary

With the Capstone 750W unit, Rosewill has become a brand name to take notice of. Gone are the days when the words "house brand" meant something like Deer or Powmax. This unit is efficient, powerful, and extremely well performing. It is as good as almost anything else out there I could name. I do wish it were at least semi-modular, and was a bit cheaper, but that's just about all it has going against it.

The Good:

very good regulation
extremely efficient
solid build quality
The Bad:

a little on the expensive side
The Mediocre:

nothing
