I recently upgraded my graphics card from Radeon HD 6670

to Radeon R7 265

Before this upgrade, everything would run fine and I could play games for hours. Now when playing graphic intense games (Dragon Age, Witcher, etc.), my computer would crash after about an hour (no overclocking).
Temperatures are fine during heavy load/gameplay. The highest temperature would be my graphics card (R7 265) at around 55-58 degrees Celsius (32 degrees when idle). I'm pretty sure it's not an overheating problem for I have good airflow in my case. Also, I didn't need a 6 pin power connector on my old HD 6670 like I do now with the r7 265 (if this helps).
I'm thinking that the problem is my 500w PSU:

Would that PSU be enough to supply my new graphics card along with the rest of the system?
I should also mention that the past couple of days, I would smell a slight plastic burning smell either from the card or psu. I could not see any difference on my card though (I doubt it's the card because it's not overheating).
If it is a PSU issue, I plan on getting this PSU:

to replace it.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
