So i have a ASUS cm6850 with an i5-2320 cpu @ 3.0 ghz, 12 gigs of memory and a GTX1050 ti 4gb. When i first started using my graphics card about 2 weeks ago I was playing CSGO on high resolution and averaging around 200+ Fps. Now im am averaging at about 140 fps or less. When i start CSGO up it stays at 119 fps. when i load a game, the menu will load at 299 FPS. But when the game runs its averaging 140 FPS and sometimes drops to 60 FPS. I am thinking my graphics card is being throttled because i have a 350 watt power supply and it takes a minimal of 350 to run my graphics card, or my temps my be bad. either way hope somebody can help me find a solution.

Getting a bigger power supply should fix the problem, GPU's that use most of the power of a PSU will run poorly (I believe) along with other computer parts.

A bit pricey for me, would i be fine with a 600w or 500w power supply? Evga makes them relatively cheap. Not sure how much power i need.

If you're not aware of how much power you need, I'd suggest finding out what parts you own online, check the power requirement and add it all up. Then, you would know which one to get :)
