Hey, I've been needing a new pus since my current seems to die when I play games on max settings without vertical sync as well as I plan to have future sli along with a cpu upgrade from fx 4300 to fx 8350. Can anyone tell me if the amount of watts is too much or too little and what would be alright to get?

My rig:
-----
Motherboard: Msi 970 gaming
Psu: an old 500w
Gpu: Msi gtx 960 gaming 4g
Cpu: amd fx 4300(native oc of 3.9~4ghz)
Ram: 12gb x3 ddr3 1600
Os: Windows 7 64 bit home premium
Hdd: 1tb Toshiba 7200rpm

550w should be enough. However whenever i build i always like to give myself a very decent ammount of headroom. Personaly i would go for a 650-750w psu but if you want to stick with 550 then http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-S12G-550-550W-Certified-Silent/dp/B00FW6EICS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434235031&sr=8-1&keywords=seasonic+550
it is a very good 550w. I would if you want a 750w however go for an Xfx pro xxx 750 or an EVGA supernova 750 b2 or g2
