I am replacing a Corsair HX Professional Series 750-Watt 80 Plus, but that seams like it might be overkill for what I need. My friend picked the parts for me 5 years ago, me knowing nothing about building PC's back then. I use my PC to play poker and plan on streaming shortly and just want something to get me through till I build my next PC, something on the cheaper side because I am not even 100% sure my PSU needs replaced. Thanks!

Ah, I see. Yes, the PSU could be defective. In that case, you will want to look at 500W and above for a little more headroom than a 350W would give you. ( I would never recommend that small. I was just saying that one that size would work) Plus room to increase the gfx card in the future if you want to.

This Seasonic 520W is an excellent budget PSU if you want to keep costs down and still have a quality unit.

Unless there's something defective about the PSU you have now, it does not need to be replaced. It is high quality and way overkill for the gfx card you have now. Most high quality 300W-350W PSUs would be sufficient unless you upgrade the gfx card.

I have been experiencing crashes where my PC loses power then restarts itself. I have run a plethora of tests and I can't narrow down what it could be. The PSU is my next step even though I tested with a multi meter and I believe everything was within acceptable ranges.
