Crappy PSU can fry your entire system and even set it on fire if you're too unlucky. And your Cooler Master PSU which uses Seventeam platform is one such unit.
For new PSU, pick any Seasonic unit since Seasonic is one of the best and oldest PSU OEM.

E.g M12II EVO or G-series for lower budget or Platinum and PRIME series for top-of-the-line PSUs.
All my 3 PCs: Skylake, Haswell and AMD are also powered by Seasonic, full specs in my sig.

Here's also PSU Tier list if you want to know which PSUs are good (Tier one and Tier two) and which are crap (Tier four and Tier five),
link: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
All Seasonic PSUs are either Tier one (great quality) or Tier two (good quality).
As far as wattage goes, your build consumes about 365W, more with CPU/GPU OC. 520W Seasonic M12II EVO series unit has enough wattage to power your build.
