Needs a better PSU, As corsairs CX line of PSUs have bad capacitors that short out relatively quickly compared to other PSUs, Replace it with a 550 Watt SeaSonic one, and its a bit too CPU heavy, i recommend downgrading to a FX 6350 and using the money you saved to buy a R9 270X/280.

You could save even more money and go with the 6300 and OC it to the same speed as the 6350, or if you are set on 8 cores get the 8320 and oc it to the same speed as the 8350. You could get a 280x with the extra saved money. I have a windforce 280X and its pretty darn good.
