I recently built my own PC for gaming and have ran into trouble with some games crashing. For example I can play older games such as Borderlands 2 no problem but when I try to play a newish game such as Mad max it will crash and restart after 30 or so minutes of gaming.
PC SPECS
MOTHER BOARD:

GPU:
XFX Radeon RX 480 DirectX 12 RX-480M8BBA6 8GB 256-Bit DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Black Edition Video Card
PSU:
EVGA 500 W1 80+, 500W Continuous Power, 100-W1-0500-KR
RAM:

400MHz
HARD DRIVE:
WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX)
SSD:
Crucial BX200 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT240BX200SSD1
DISK DRIVE:
LG Electronics Internal Super Multi Drive Optical Drives GH24NSC0B
EXTRAS:

I think my problem is that my power supply might be two small. Anytime I do anything more than the basic settings on my GPU my computer crashes and resets the settings to default. If somebody could let me know if that is my problem, and what PSU you would recommend, it would be greatly appreciated.
