Hello!
I recently (5-6 months ago) purchased a GTX 670, and have been fairly disappointed in its performance... Pretty much every game runs a lot worse than expected. I did have an issue with my GPU usage skyrocketing to 100 percent, and my FPS going to 0 for a few seconds and the recovering. I changed out my power connector for my GPU from 2 Molex connectors to a 6+2 connector. I have not had this issue since (in limited game time). Because I have tried many driver solutions (several different versions, uninstalling and installing), I have narrowed the lackluster performance down to a power issue.
That being said:
My current power supply is an Antec 600w PSU. I have an Ivy Bridge i5, with 1 hard drive and 3-4 fans along with my GTX 670. Could my power supply be the issue with the performance? If so, what would you suggest as an upgrade? I am looking at an 850 Watt PC Power and Cooling PSU:

Would this be enough to run my current setup. Would there be a better option?
Please provide me with any advice you can! Thank you!
