If its zoostorm replace it mate seriously.
The corsair 600 is fine.
There's a evga bronze 500w on amazon for around £35 too which is a solid buy - I'm running a 8 pin/6 pin Galax 970 rated at 225w on one of these & its fine .used a power meter & its only pulling 420w at the plug under stress testing.at 80% efficiency that's like 350w max.
