Recently in November I purchased a 970 superclocked graphics card to upgrade my PC. Now the graphics card runs great and it can support the games I play but now my PC has been black screening and restarting on its own. I found the problem by using the Event Viewer and it says its a power problem (says error 41). So I have decided to replace my current power supply with a new one and I want some advice on which one I should get (budget being $150-190).

I'm also wondering why my power supply isn't holding up to my new parts. If the minimum power supply needed for the 970 is 500w shouldn't my current 620w power supply be able to handle it with no problem?

My current specs: Intel Core i7 3770 Quad Core @ 3.4ghz
Gigabyte B75M-D3H mATX LGA1155 B75 DDR3 2PCI-E16 2PCI HDMI CrossFireX SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard
