Seems my new EVGA GTX 970 SSC cant be powered by my 8yr old Raidmax 730wt psu.
I was looking at http://

Any help or suggestions would much help. I am trying to keep it between 70-100 bucks but want something that will last and can do upgrades with.

My Raidmax PSU here i bought in 2007. I put my GTX 970 in today powered up and it ran great until i tried to play a game then Instant PC reset. This happened to every game i tried that demanded GPU power. Normal web surfing was fine esc.. I did some research and everyone with this issue said people needed a better PSU.

I have an intel i5 3350P chip. My old card was a HD7850 and it was fine, installed new card and like i said instant reset on anything GPU demanding.
