A few days ago my PC started unexpectedly rebooting (power out -> boot up), I've tested multiple sockets across the house now all with the same result, and looking into my PSU (a corsair CX series), found more people with the same issue; power supply shopping time!
Here's my system specs:
So, this is what i have now. Thrown into a PSU calculator it throws out a value under 500W. Thing is, with a new CPU, maybe even GPU (replacement, not planning on crossfire) and at least one HD being a possibility in the next year or two, i'm not sure 520W would carry me through.
I've narrowed my selection to a list of 5 Tier 2 PSU-s which are available in shops in my country, and would like some input regarding price/value as well as a second opinion on how much wattage i need for my system.
The PSU-s:
