Hi, I am posting about my computer freezing and crashing under load. I think that it is the Psu, I have diagnosed both my cpu and gpu. On both tests my computer crashed so I think I can rule out my Graphics Card or my CPU being the culprit. Then I noticed a burnt wire or rubber smell, then I opened my case and I noticed that the smell is coming from the psu. I think that the Psu is to blame, but I would like a few opinions. The psu is a cheap 500w Raidmax one that came with my case.

My Specs:
Amd FX 8120 overclocked to 3.4 ghz
Geforce GTX 650 Ti Ssc 1 gb
Msi 990XA-GD55 Motherboard
12 gb Cosair Vengance Ram
1tb Western Digital
Dual Booted - Windows 7/Windows 8

I was planning on doing that, I wanted to get some other people perspective. I was planning on getting the Corsair CX600. Do you think that it would be a good psu?

Not what I would be looking for quality wise, Seasonic, XFX, EVGA 2 series not 1.
