I was having some issues with my computer randomly restarting on me, no BSOD, no error codes just the video would go out while the sound kept going for a min or so longer then everything would shut off and 7 times out of 10 bring up the Windows wasnt properly shut down screen. The other 3 times it would restart but with no video and I would have to open it up and pull the video card (GTX 670) power and plug it back in to get it to come back.
I figure the issue is either in the PSU or the video card, when running on the onboard graphics (intel CPU) I have no issues so I have ordered a XFX TS pro650 PSU to replace the old Corsair CX series one (It was within my price-point and is made by seasonic) and now am looking at replacement video cards, I use this system for gaming but it is also what i use for work so must be reliable, my pricepoint for a GPU is ~330 so I am looking at the R9 390 and the GTX 970. So with my current components (see below) which card will work out best for me?
CPU - i5 4690K (not currently OC'd but may be in the future)
MB - Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3
Ram - 16GB Vengeance
HDD - 2x 500GB SATA 7200
PSU - XFX TS pro650W
Monitor- 1x Asus 24" 1080p 1x Dell 20" 720p
