That is not a good brand of power supply, would be a good idea to replace it if you want your system to last for a while. http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/power-supply-cabinets-mods/147389-power-supply-blacklist-thread-newbies.html

That's a good video card, and the CPU should run things fine, unless you are trying to max out the settings in the games at high resolution.

If you were having a power supply issue your computer would be crashing, but it MAY be the power supply issue, just very unlikely. I'd try a clean format of the system, install the drivers again and see how it runs.

but my gpu and cpu temps are also crossing 60 mark while playing games..... even at 40 % cpu load the temp reaches 69.....
can it be due heating up of psu coz of overload on it...

If you have heat issues, re-install the heatsink with new heat grease, maybe get a better cooler, better case, another fan, whatever would work with your setup.

Your model is the OC version, it will probably have higher temps than a regular one. Add more case fans, you can replace the stock fan/heatsink with something better, make sure there is no dust clogging vents or fans.

Maybe just a bad sensor, are there actually issues with the system? Try blowing a fan on the card directly and measure the temps then.
