I've been having issues with my computer on and off for that past year or so. I'll get a pixelated color screen then my system will crash. This happens at random no matter what I am doing. Whether I'm gaming, listening to music, watching video, or just simple web browsing my computer crashes.

I have replaced every part of my computer (Mobo, GPU, CPU, RAM, etc) to try and find the issue. Yet, despite all the new and replaced hardware, I'm still getting this same annoying crash. The PSU is the only thing I have yet to replace.

This is my current computer rig. My PSU is a Cool Max V-600. My question is this: will 600 Watts be enough or should I upgrade to something higher? If so, what is a good PSU that would be recommended?

Thank you in advance.
 
The maker of your current psu is not considered reliable, and should be avoided. Check out the PSU tier list, where it is tiered 5, which is the absolutely worst. I would personally recommend the EVGA Supernova G3 550watt power supply. Stunning performance at a good price point.
 
Kinda figured the PSU wasn't all that great. Thank you, atomicWAR, for showing me this PSU tier. I'm a fan of cooler master so I may end up getting the Cooler Master V series.
