I have a problem of textures popping in extremely close whenever I walk in games.

I was told on Reddit techsupport that my original PSU (Dell h750e-01) was poor for my setup because it was quad rail and my video card wasn't drawing enough power. I went out yesterday and bought the 600w dual rail and the problem is still there. Now I am being told that I need specifically a SINGLE rail psu. Is this really the issue that would be causing this texture pop in?
 
I would of expected more RAM usage while playing that game. 2.5GB-2.6GB of 4GB used isn't close enough to saturation for pagefile access. Try you PC on a friend's monitor? I don't know what else to suggest. Did you format the drive before re-installing Windows? If not, any "older" driver is likely still there. Re-installing Windows only overwrites system files if you don't re-format it first.
