Ok so i recently built a new PC on a rather tight budget and just wanted some opinions on it. here are my specs
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DJ3DWFK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 its the 2.0 revision

Case: Sentey® Gs-6008 Plus Stealth Gaming Computer Case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PWM49G2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 AM3 3.4Ghz 512KB 45NM 125W 4000MHZ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SRQ214?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

Ram: Komputerbay 8GB (2 X 4GB) DDR3 DIMM (240 pin) 1333Mhz PC3 10600 / PC3 10666 9-9-9-25 1.5v 8 GB KIT http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OSTDPI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

Power Supply: EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H33SFJU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Graphics card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB GDDR5 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IDG3IDO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

HDDs: 1TB Western Digital 5400rpm X2 in raid mode 0 Striped No link for this sorry.

Battery Backup: APC Back-UPS CS 500VA - UPS - 300 Watt - 500 VA 50/60 Hz AC 120 V http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=&cs=04&sku=A0370993&ST=pla&dgc=ST&cid=262075&lid=4742361&acd=1230980794501410&ven1=aitDejXH&ven3=473802888261776180

Now i was thinking about getting this new graphics card which is a EVGA GeForce GTX 960 Superclocked 4GB GDDR5 128bit. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VX1MJQ8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2W2QY62AXDCLD&coliid=I2550USHINP3AD&psc=1

the reason im getting the new card is for the past 2-3 months while playing World of warcraft (seems to be the only game it does it on) my screen will blank for a sec or 2 and the display driver/GPU resets and i cant figure out the problem. its been doing it even before this build. before this build i had the graphics card in a HP Pavilion Elite e9220y Desktop PC http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01859815 with a 450W power supply and even the same ram thats in my new build. Could it be caused by my battery backup? since i have a 500w power supply on a 300 watt battery backup?

Please leave all feedback good and bad on anything you can think of like bottleneck possibilities PSU problems with this hardware ETC....and if possible maybe shed some light on my black screen/driver crash/reset problem PLEASE!!
