It is enough, but note that vs series are not exactly an example of quality either. Get ax, hx, tx or rm series. You wouldnt even need that many watts, 550 would be more than enough, but of course, 650 cant hurt ;)

The PSU isn't a quality one. But the problem could also be due to overheating. What's your CPU and temp?

Check temps under load, for both the cpu and the gpu.

i dont think it is due to overheating,because the system shuts automatically,even when i left it idle at 40-45c,under load it goes around 55-60c

Yeah, but thats the cpu. What about the gpu? Components can overheat even in idle if they lose contact with the cooler or their fans stop working.

Then, sir, your assumptions were most likely correct. I would say, try with a better power supply.

You can try, but this would be pushing it. Your second psu might as well end as this one. And when psus die, sometimes they take other things with them. Like cpu, motherboard and pretty much everything. Good psu will save you money, not take it.
