What Corsair power supply do you have?
Are you in an area with frequent low voltage/brown outs?

hi I have a Corsair CX psu
There are a lot of power outages in my area but im not sure if there are brown outs.

CX power supplies are not really recommended for gaming rigs. The grey label ones are a little better.
Their hold up time when voltage drops on the input side is below spec. So a small flicker or voltage drop will cause the computer to reboot.

That would depend on price range.
SeaSonic, SuperFlower are the best manufacturers,Who sell their own line, and manufacture for other brands.
They make power supplies for Corsair,Evga,Coolermaster etc.....
So different brands like Corsair get their power supplies from different manufacturers.Delta, FSP, Channelwell, and others make make the power supplies for all of the different brands.
With a budget and where you are buying from I could suggest best value units for you.
