Hello everyone.
I am thinking of getting asus strix gtx 960 OC, so I wonder is my psu good for it, any help would be appreciated. I have codagen P-Case 480W atx 2.01 - PSU, so here is the thing, I've read that gtx 960 requires 12 V / 38 A and 1x6pin connector [MY psu is +3.3V=26A, +5V=20A, +12V=25A, -5V=0.5A, -12V=0.8A, +5vSB=2A], so if I am right it has only 12V/25A ?. Before I was running gtx 560 ti with 2x6pin connectors (which required 500 W and 12V/38A as well, and I had no problems during all the time).

Well it seems my mentioned psu can't handle gtx 960 strix, because when vga is stressed during gameplay, pc restarts, so I am going to change psu. I am thinking of getting strider essential ST50F-ESB 500 W 80+ (from what I've read it is single rail and has 37.5 A on 12 v). http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=557&
or CORSAIR PSU VS Series 550W 80+ http://www.corsair.com/ru-ru/vs-seriestm-vs550-550-watt-power-supply
So my question is, which would be better, since they both cost the same? (I am more into corsair).
P.S. sorry for being noobish.
