Hi guys hope you are all having a lovely day!

I am in need of a new PSU as the one i brought was not good enough. (shuts off during gaming)

Here is what I am currently running:

case: Cooler Master N-Series N400 - USB 3.0 ATX Case

SanDisk 128GB Pulse SSD - 2.5" SATA-III
Seagate 2TB BARRACUDA 3.5" SATA-III
Gigabyte GA Z87 HD3 Motherboard
2GB Asus Nvidia GTX 760
Intel Core i7-4770K, 1150, Haswell with a Corsair H60 liquid cooling
Kingston HyperX Genesis 16 GB RAM Memory (4x 4GB) DDR3 1600mhz

Case has 2 Fans plugged in and I am putting another fan aswell.

Any help would be really awesome! Thank you everybody at Toms Hardware! xD

Thank you all, Daniel.
 
You need a 450W power supply minimum, 500W would be better.
The supply needs to have two 6 pin PCI-E power connectors.

Which supply is best depends on your budget.
The following supplies are all OK, but get better as you go down the list:
Corsair CX500
Antec HCG 520
Seasonic S12II 520W
Seasonic G 550
 


A 550W supply is plenty, but if you want a more powerful supply a 650W would be overkill.
RM series are good but expensive.
Consider the Seasonic G 550 or Seasonic G 650.
 


Not only did the RM 750(failed HardOCP's lab review) & RM 850 have thermal issues, they have lower grade
Taicon capacitors (secondary filtering) than an enthusiast level PSU should have. These are budget level
caps in an enthusiast PSU.

I wouldn't purchase one.
