im having an issue where my system stutters whenever i overclock my processor, im thinking it has something to do with my power supply since its only a cruddy rosewill 500W 32A on 12v i think 70% efficiency

im running this system
core2duo (attempted oc at 3ghz voltage @ 1.38)
2gb ddr 800
1 sata 250gb drive
8800gts 320 (also oc)

i play games like bioshock and guild wars, but when i oc my processor the games stutter, if i go back to stock they dont stutter.


if this is the problem could you guys suggest an affordable psu upgrade? <$80 if possible
