Hello, my PSU started to betray me, and it's randomly turning off my pc after a couple of hours when running my CPU at maximum stock speed so i had to lower it also removed some rams
So right now my Components are the following:
BeQuite Wildcat PSU 480W (Very bad imo, also the fan started to make noise a while back but i managed to fix it)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 750
CPU: AMD X4 860K
RAM: 8GB But i plan to expand
MOTHERBOARD: Asus A88XM-A
COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Also i plan to overclock the CPU and a very little bit the GPU

Atm my badget is low like 60/70 Euros
Is there any good PSU i can get that will not die on me after overclocking or after 1 and a half year?
I wanted to buy a Chieftec Force CPS-500S as my friend told me, but after reading on internet i'm not so sure

PS. I'm really sure is the PSU because as soon as the Fan Started making noises there was a time my computer would not turn on the first and second tries then it turned on normally, now some months later is about to die because well the pc restart with no errors the Temps looks fine to me
even if i touch the PC it's not hot.

Don't get Chieftec PSU since those are low quality units. I had one and the fan started screeching like hell. I threw it away and bought Seasonic S12II-520 to replace it.

As far as good quality PSUs go, anything from Seasonic is great. For your PC and budget range, 500W range PSU is more than enough. That being said, i suggest you go for Seasonic M12II-520 EVO,

My Haswell build is also powered by the M12II EVO series but mine is 850W (full specs with pics in my sig). You can go for S12II-520 too (which powers my AMD build) for cheaper price but do note that it's fully-wired and cable management with it is headache. M12II EVO series PSUs are...

PSUs have typically long warranties so might want to check if yours is still under warranty in which case you don't have to spend any money.
For a new, different PSU, I wouldn't go lower than tier 2 on this list:

Consider that all your components depend on the psu and when psu dies, it can take other components with it so don't go too cheap on one but try to find a model off of there that's on sale.

Both Seasonic units come with 5 years of OEM warranty.
