Well the main reason is, is because your PSU is only 400 watts and will not be able to fully power it all the time. I would get a 550 watt to be on the safer side.

Also, that brand looks quite sketchy. It doesn't look very good. Try replacing it with an EVGA one or Corsair.

Is coolmaster a thrustworthy brand?

 

[Sammyjo20]

Yes. Just make sure you get at least a PSU with either:

80+ Bronze / 80+ Silver / 80+ Gold / 80+ Platinum / 80+ Titanium

Like this one "Cooler Master G750M"? or should i get "Corsair CX 600M"?

 

[Sammyjo20]

It's your choice mate. I have the CX600M and it's fantastic. I can give you a personal review of that if you like.

Here is a really in-depth review of the CX600M: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/corsair-cx600m-psu-review,1.html

Now if i buy the CX600M will it be future proof? If i like get a gtx 960 will it be able to handle the card and the rest of my system or do i need to get an even better psu? p.s the cx600m is on sale so it only costs 100 bucks and the coller master also costs 100 bucks.

If you buy that PSU now, It will be fine for future upgrades, unless you are planning to have SLI or something like that.
