Hi there. My rig can run under low loads but crashes under higher loads "Running a video game", I estimate its the PSU thats gotten far too old "6 years" and just not compatible with its new friends.

ASRock 970M AMD Motherboard
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz
NVIDIA 960 GTX
8GB DDR3

Just looking to buy a reliable PSU, I've used the toms hardware list to hunt down some affordable ones, 80$ many being out of stock on new egg. Any reccomendations as well would be amazing.

Using "http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator" It spits out I should be in need of

Load Wattage: 335 W
Recommended UPS rating: 650 VA
Recommended PSU Wattage: 385 W

Amperage (combined)
+3.3V +5V +12V
9.8 A 11.5 A 24.5 A
90 W 295 W

Hope this helps

Is $80 the absolute limit?

If your willing to go up to around $90 I would recommend this PSU.

Newegg EVGA PSU

The 650w is much more than you need but will allow for many expansions without a real power problem. It is also fully modular which also makes it great!
