I was playing The Witcher 3 today and my computer suddenly turned off then right back on. All case fans, LEDs and everything flashed off for a moment and then came right back up to the BIOS. No BSOD
I just bought a new GTX 970 and am wondering if I need a new power supply..
I am running a lot of power hungry components
I'm rocking a:
Asus Corsshair V Formula-Z
AMD Fx 9370 with an H80i cooler
Asus Strix 970
16 GB RAM
Power Color Xtreme Gear 800 Watt PSU
I know this PSU isn't top of the line and it's getting kind of old (Like 5 years old) I assume that I have enough power? I don't think I'm running into overheating issues with the CPU because I was getting that when I first got the chip and got the H80i installed and it's been cool as a cucumber since. I don't believe the GPU was OC'd I had the Asus tweak program to be setting it a bit higher but not much but it wasn't even open (I think it has to be open to make it run? I'm not sure about that though.)
Anyways, should I be getting a new PSU? How much power would I need to power these beasts? I was thinking of this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139084 because it's a damn beaut but I want to keep it under $100 if I can.. But I also want something that's going to last me another 5 years.
Thanks in advance, you guys are awesome.
