Its not exactly the most power hungry PC so I would just keep it as it is assuming it is working. It isn't the worst PSU in the world and they work fine under normal circumstances. Overloading them can cause major issues but with a 4790 and a 780ti there is no danger of that happening unless it shorts out.

However since you asked about it, I can only guess that it isn't working properly and yes you should replace it asap. the evga is a good choice. Is it cutting out while under load?
