Hey. My PC randomly shuts down while gaming. I bet my PSU can't handle the new GPU. (I had a 970, recently got a 1080ti)
My PSU is quite old and I'm running a lot of stuff of it. Two screens, 3 storage drives, a sound card, and a huge CPU cooler. I know I have to upgrade my Thermaltake SE 530W PSU. I can get a fairly new 1000W Corsair RM1000X for a low price. Should I get it even though I won't use its full power? I know it's an overkill but I can get it for cheaper than a lower powered PSU. Quite strangely the PC shuts off only while gaming. I've done a benchmark on 3DMark and it went through without a hitch. Should I do something else or just upgrade the PSU?
Thanks.
My specs are:
ASRock Z170 Pro 4S
i7 6700K OC@4.4GHz
AORUS GTX 1080Ti
16GB Ballistix RAM
Thermaltake SE 530W
