My PC tends to restart when i try to play any game. sometimes it happens mid game and sometimes right at launch. Sometimes though it restarts even while watching youtube. it happens 2-3 times a day, and is very frustrating(espacianly during comp matches in csgo). I think its my PSU.
When the PSU that i currently have is a Corsair vs 550. and here's my full specs
CPU: i5 4440
RAM: Corsair vegeance 2 x 4gb
MOBO: Asrock h97 Pro 4
GPU: Sapphire AMD Radeon r9 270x 2gb OC (Going to upgrade to rx 480 the next month)
3 HDDs and 1 SSD
1 Optical drive

I have found a Corsair GS600, going for cheap, should i get it? and what are the other Budget options?
 
Solution
The Seasonic S12II 620W is a good power supply with a Tier - 2 rating. I own the Seasonic S12II 520W PSU and its been working fine for over a year, I did have one PSU Shut Down, never could duplicate the issue so I assume it was an input power problem and so the PSU did its job and protected my computer.

If you want a modular PSU get the M12II from Seasonic, it cost a little more money, but maybe worth it to some people.

So would this be good enough?
