I'd switch out the PSU.
Corsair CXM series is upgrade to their Tier four CX series. Currently the CXM stands in Tier three.
PSU Tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

For your build, try to get atleast Tier two PSU, preferably tier one if you could afford it.

I suggest Seasonic PSUs.
Seasonic S12II-520 is a solid pick (80+ Bronze, fully wired, Tier two)
specs: https://seasonic.com/product/s12ii-520/

Or if you want better, you can also go for Seasonic X-650 (80+ Gold, fully modular, Tier one)
