My pc keeps restarting while im playing games and I have no idea why!?
Games last about 10 seconds then its like someone has pulled the plug out.
I get this error in the event viewer http://pastebin.com/daEmVHhW

Specs:
Intel i5 4670k quad core @ 3.40hz
16 GB of Ram
geforce gtx 760
msi z87-g45
corsair cx500m power supply
Windows 10 pro

The 550w XFX should be enough, but the 750w B2 would give headroom for overclocking/upgrades, and is modular, for less than $20 more. The Evga GQ 650w would be another consideration. The list hasn't been updated to reflect their arrival, but I believe the consensus was they belong in tier 2.

Its not overheating because i have checked all the temps and they are fine so I think im gonna have to buy a new PSU then.

Edit: Would 550W be enough for my PC?
