not really, you usually have to just open the PC and look at the label on it.
I'm assuming by taking it out you are saying that it's hidden under a PSU shroud on your case right?

yeah its hidden. can i not install cpu -z to see?

no, because the PSU doesn't connect to the motherboard in any way that allows data and information to travel around therefore no software is capable of seeing what it is, all it does is supply power to the system and extra components.

Did you build it yourself or was it already prebuilt for you?
If prebuilt, is it a custom prebuilt from somebody you bought second hand from or is it prebuilt like Dell or HP or custom prebuilt like iBuyPower and CyberpowerPC?

its prebuilt [lenovo] i swapped the ram for 2 8gb sticks at christmas and about a year ago i put in a i7 6700k. its like 2 and a half years old.

ok, so definitely a cheap power supply in there for sure.
I would wager that to be your issue.
It's probably just not able to properly power both the GPU and CPU you have.

could u recommend a PSU to buy thats compatible? [edit] and do u think it could be my hard drive and that a ssd would help or nah?

it is possible that you could be experiencing issues from a slow hard drive, but only if it's 5400rpm, because a 7200rpm drive shouldn't cause these kinds of issues.

I can recommend a PSU, but what I recommend will depend on your budget.

Please provide a budget and tell me the currency and your country.

my hardrive is this [Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM010 - hard drive - 1 TB - SATA 6Gb/s | ST1000DM010] it didnt say anything about 7200rpm or even mention rpm at all

Delete all partitions of this drive. And create new partition. After that install games on it. (if it is boot drive then add at least 120GB of SSD.)

And I recommend you to get 550 or 650 watt of PSU. From Corsair or Coolermaster... It is recommended because 400 watt PSU can't handle this much load.
