I am unfortunately among the several people that have underestimated the PSU on their build. Result : System shuts down abruptly on GPU intensive applications since a few months ago. Stress test on CPU for a few minutes produces no shutdown, stress test on GPU produces shutdown after a few seconds/few minutes.

MSI GTX 970
Corsair VS650

My first question :
What would you guys recommend as a stable replacement PSU? I was looking to get the EVGA B2 750W (sells for 90€ here). Are there any better options at this price range? Knowing that I am planning to upgrade to a GTX 980 Ti in the future.
Second and most important question :
As of recently also, my GPU will make very distinguishable coil whine noises during heavy load (Intensive games and stress tests). I already know that the Corsair VS650 (Tier 4 ...) is likely the cause of these shutdowns, however could it also cause the coil whine issue on my GPU or should I expect that my GTX 970 is now defective due to these shutdowns?
Thanks!
