My specs:
i5 4430
Radeon R9 270
GA-H81M-H
4GB Kingston HyperxBlu
600W Thermaltake dual rail PSU
I have a problem of textures popping in extremely close whenever I walk in games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlppdH8rceQ
I was told on Reddit techsupport that my original PSU (Dell h750e-01) was poor for my setup because it was quad rail and my video card wasn't drawing enough power. I went out yesterday and bought the 600w dual rail and the problem is still there. Now I am being told that I need specifically a SINGLE rail psu. Is this really the issue that would be causing this texture pop in?

What you are seeing is LOD set way way way too low. Go into your settings and turn the LOD up, this has nothing to do with your power supply at all. Even if you were not getting sufficient power to the card it would not cause an issue like this, you would get freezes or very low fps spikes.
Edit: It might be called Draw Distance in Far Cry 3. Been a minute since I played it and at work and cant actually check it from here.

The thing is, it happens in every game I try to play. Not just Far Cry 3. I'm using Far Cry 3 as an example. So, it's not the PSU?Definitely not the PSU. I would check your driver and see if you have a global game profile enabled. If have allowed the driver to override the application settings it can easily cause issues like this as well.

This is now the third person on Resdit to tell me the power supply is at fault. I don't know what to do.

What do you think of this power supply?

I know CX is on the budget end, but is it still good?

I would of expected more RAM usage while playing that game. 2.5GB-2.6GB of 4GB used isn't close enough to saturation for pagefile access. Try you PC on a friend's monitor? I don't know what else to suggest. Did you format the drive before re-installing Windows? If not, any "older" driver is likely still there. Re-installing Windows only overwrites system files if you don't re-format it first.
