Hello,
Recently my computer has been unable to boot when I first start it, I need to restart it and on the second time it will boot. It also randomly switches off with no BSOD or anything. So I think its my power supply. Which power supply would you recommend for my rig?

Specs:
Current PSU: Corsair CX430
Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 AM3+
CPU: AMD FX 8320 3.5Ghz Eight-Core Processor
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX560

My site I would like to buy the PSU from: http://msy.com.au/news.jsp?newsid=5
but if there is nothing suitable anything will do. :) 

Thanks, Ryan

First try system with stable settings. (remove all OC settings)
Install new windows and all new drivers.
If system is not stable but it works psu is not the issue. Maybe memory or video card or mobo.

If you want new psu look rosewill cappstone (super flower) or EVGA

Everything is stable, I've installed new windows and drivers on a fresh hard drive. I haven't experienced any random restarts yet but it still takes two attempts to start my computer. (also the random restarts happen during games if that matters). RAM and motherboard are pretty much new only the PSU and GPU are over a year old.
