Hey guys.

I'm having issues with my PSU, TT Purepower 550W, a couple of days ago I started playing BF 4 on ultra settings and within 10 minutues my pc turned off. I had to turn off the psu and turn it back on in order to start my pc again. Put the graphics on High and everything went ok. That lead me to think about the power problem. It's no a temp problem, because I was logging it and never went over 68°C.

So, I calculated my rig's consumption and it was 434W.
My PSU is about 6 years old, so I think it can't handle the loads, that's why I'm thinking in getting a new PSU.
I was checking the Seasonic 620W M12II, and the NZXT Series Hale82 V2 700W.
What can you tell me about them, any bad experience?

My rig:

CPU: FX 8350 + HYPER 212 EVO
RAM: 8GB Gskill RIPJAWS X 1866
MOBO: ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0
GPU: Zotac 970 GTX
CASE: NZXT PHANTOM 410 (4 coolers, 1 led)
OD: 1 DVD RW
HDD: 2
PSU: TT Pure Power 550W

I hope you can help me decide.
Thanks in advance!
 
The older Hale 82 was made by Seasonic and wasn't all that great to begin with with a 7.5 Build Quality rating (see link below) from jonnyguru .... the new V2 is made by Sirfa who also makes for OCZ, Chieftec, Rosewill, Silverestone (Strider) and others.

The Seasonic M12 620 is made on Seasonic's GB Bronze platform. Here's a jonnyguru review of the S12 520 which is a step down from the M12 but build on the same GB Platform

Of the 2, I'd take the M12 w/o a 2nd thought.
