Dung on a stick... Logisys sells PSU-shaped objects, unfit for purpose. This one isn't yours, but is a representative sample: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Logisys-PS600A12-Power-Supply-Review/1211/1
A good 500W PSU is enough for your build. You have probably a 300W-350W unit, and it is being driven to the point of instability. Please replace it before it kills any of your parts.

It's bad because it is made with low quality components, the voltage protections are weak if they are even operable. By using that kind of a PSU you are risking damaging other components in the system. The PSU is a very important part, it's never a good idea to skimp on the PSU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezk9OA7aKOE

Grab something from tier 1 or 2 of this list

550w for a single 970
750w for 2 in SLI.

System Power Supply Requirements for two MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4GB graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode
• a minimum of a 700 Watt or greater system power supply is recommended. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)
• the power supply must also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 50 Amps or greater
• the power supply should also have at least two 75-Watt 6-pin and two 150-Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

EVGA 600B Bronze (100-B1-0600-KR)
• OEM: HEC
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating: 49 Amps <===== Sufficient
• two 150-Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors <===== Insufficient
• Modular Output Cables: No
• Meets Official Intel Haswell Compliance: No
• 80 PLUS BRONZE Efficiency Certification
• 3 Year Limited Warranty

Would this psu fit the specs u said im a noob lol so im not sure http://www.microcenter.com/product/433614/SuperNOVA_750_Watt_80_Gold_Modular_ATX_12V_Power_Supply

 

[laviniuc]

the g2 and b2 versions are better.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr this one for example and it's on sale

 

[travo1569]

But that one is bronze n the 1 i posted a link to is gold wouldn't the gold be better

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1 (120-G1-0750-XR)
• OEM: FSP
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating: 61 Amps <===== More than sufficient
• four 150-Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors <===== Sufficient
• Full Modular Output Cables: Yes
• Official Intel Haswell Compliance: Yes
• 80 PLUS GOLD Efficiency Certification
• 10 Year Limited Warranty

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2 (110-B2-0750-VR)
• OEM: Super Flower
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating: 62 Amps <===== More than sufficient
• four 150-Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors <===== Sufficient
• Semi-Modular Output Cables: Yes
• Official Intel Haswell Compliance: Yes
• 80 PLUS BRONZE Efficiency Certification
• 5 Year Limited Warranty

Either one is way better than what you were selecting before.

Electrical conversion efficiency isn't that important as long as it's BRONZE or better.

Ok ill go for the gold because its full modular n i can get it for 80 in a shop near my house thank you

 

[laviniuc]

the g1 and b1 series is made by fsp whereas the b2 and g2 are made by super flower, bit better quality inside the b2 even if it's bronze instead of gold... but ok, both are worlds better compared to the first one you had in mind 😀

couldn't find a good review on the g1

the semi modular psu-s are just as good as fully modular ones, it's not like you're ever not going to plug the 24pin power connector or the 8pin atx. the only place were fully modular may be needed is in very small enclosures if you plan to change them to shorter cables

i stand corrected, with 10 years warranty instead of 5 the g1 does should like a better option
