Hi folks , i've bought a XFX R9 390 around the time of 16 september , so it's been around a month now , but ever since i got it when i put it on full load under full stress , the GPU starts to reach 82 / 84 Celcius , and then my system starts to leak a bad smell , my brother in law says its burnt plastic... so I ignored all the smell thing until now , but then i started playing the new star wars for hours and its all the time under load and all the time doing that smell which i can't know if its burnt plastic or burnt dust or another thing but its got me worried , and the more i breath it the more it feels like smoking in my lungs, which sucks...
Anyways i gotta mention , i've been trying it under full load , not all days in this whole month but some days when i tried under full load it didnt reboot it didnt crash nor do anything showing the psu can't handle it , so i believe its not a matter of unworthy psu xd
I'm mostly sure it comes from the psu , when i sniff the psu hot air comes out though not sure if its burning something there , i should look around maybe at the mobo or somewhere see if there's something wrong , i do know it doesnt come from the GPU cus i sniffed there and no smell , i can say though that the fan from the psu does spin kinda slow , not so fast to take out All that heat as i think it should.
Cpu temps reach at least 82° Celsius , i remember seeing it reach 88° if im not wrong and i remember taking out the plastic from the back side of the card , also plastics that cover the ports.
Also now im having a new issue which may be related to the PSU , before when i was playing star wars battlefront at 80 fps i had nothing of this at all , but now i've been having this problem in games , here are some pics of it and a short video :

So basicly what happens is im stressing the card for it to reach 82 , 84 ° and then suddenly green horizontal lines show up , they progressively show up more and more and then the display starts to blink black screens like that and then all goes black , and until i do alt + f4 and quit the game and go to desktop it stays all black , as you can see on the video i did that after it went black i pressed alt f4 and then it came back to normal....
I also tried warframe and i stayed in a zone where the card reached this stats seen in HWMONITOR , where the gpu reached 81° C but this time nothing wrong happened : http://oi61.tinypic.com/209kpqf.jpg
So im really confused now but my best guess is that the psu is not enough , but then again if the psu is not good enough should the pc have not worked at all in graphical intensive games like for example the witcher 3 , cus i've been trying heavy games since a month and had no issues at all until this very moment . I'm also trying to find out what tier my psu is but couldn't find it on this tomshardware list http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html , and EVGA psus are kinda out of my budget cus a 850w one costs like $350...
Any ideas about what could be the problem would be appreciated , my full rig is as follows:
B85M-G mobo
CPU : i5 4690
1 Seagate 7200 rpm hdd , 1 TB
XFX R9 390
1 DVD
PSU : Sentey ERP 750 Wats
2 x 4 gb 1333 kingston
