Question PSU HELP

[jamesdxn9565]

Hey I believe my Psu is faulty because my computer randomly restarts it self when i play games!
I plan on buying a new psu but how do i know which one would work/fit for my PC?
Currently running i7 4790k, 16gb ram, nvidia geforce 970 and PSU is corsair 750

Will I need to buy the same PSU I am currently using or is there a cheaper alternative? I will attack a picture of my dusty pc insides.

WOW....

Clean that thing out

Get yourself a Seasonic Focus Gold 550

More than enough power and excellent quality.

If your "tower is big" you have an ATX case. Also you have a CX750 in there, which is an ATX PSU.

Your current CX750 is ATX. If the CX750 fits the Seasonic focus will also fit.

Plenty. And the CX 750 is known for the failures you had.

Its not too hard. Just take note of the cables that are there and where they are plugged into. Take pics with your phone to be sure you get them all. Then remove the old one, and plug in the new ones.

Is there any other PCU which Is good but possibly a bit cheaper?

Corsair has significantly updated the CX line, if you get the Corsair CX550M it would do the job it comes in a yellow box and has a grey label, thats the one you want.

 

[jamesdxn9565]

Would this do the job
EVGA 600 W1, 80+ WHITE 600W, Power Supply 100-W1-0600-K3

Junk compared to the Corsair, and probably not much cheaper.

If he can't afford the Seasonic Focus 550 which is the same price, he can't afford that.

Good point on the dust though I agree.
