Stop gaming with that computer IMMEDIATELY.

There is a very large difference between the $50-60 450w PSUs and ones like circle.
The wattage numbers claimed by these brands are a flat out lie and the unit cant really perform at this level. They are the equivalent to the "2000w" car amplifiers sold out of the back of a van.
The bad thing is that when these PSUs die, they lack any sort of safe gaurds in them so they often fry your GPU, your motherboard and other parts when they die. Some have even sparked to the point that they have caused house fires.

So we urge you to stop using that PSU and replace it asap.

I went to the circle service centre and they told me that your system configuration is high so PSU can't resist load while gaming. Will corsair or Antec 550w is compatible with my system configuration?? Which one is best? My system configurations are. Intel I5-7400 7th generation. Motherboard : gigabyte B250M-D3H. RAM : 8GB Graphic Card : Gigabyte Gtx 1070 G1 Gaming 8Gb.. Please guide me what to do??
 
Corsair CX550M will do. Circle is just poor quality and does not hold 500W as the name claims. Any good quality 450+ PSU can handle You system. Calculation: 1070~150W, CPU ~ 100 W, others ~ 50 W. Max draw is less tha 350W and add 100 W headroom.
