Hello,I have a corsair cx 750w power supply and since I bought it every time I hit it lightly my PC restarts .I think it might have fixed its self but I don't wont to try.And when I start playing a game it makes strange high pitch noises. I would like to by a new one so my question is will a 600w super flower PSU be enough for my RIG:

cpu:Intel core I7-3770 ivy bridge 3.4GHZ

gpu:asus strix nvidia gtx 970

MB: asrock h77m LGA 1155

2x4gb RAM 1600

1xHDD western digital blue 1tb 7200

1xHDD seagate 500gb 5400

1xssd kingston 120gb

CPU cooler : thermaltake frio silent 12 (the one fan model)

Thank you for your time :)

Well my AMD power-siphon uses about 525w under full load and I have a TX-650w. So I'm 99% positive a 600-650 watt PSU would be just fine for your rig :)

Yeah agreed. 600w would be plenty because i've seen people running gtx 980s with the same amount of power.

That sounds like coil whine to me... Go to http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/ to check about how much power your system will need. Remember that it is nt 100% accurate so you will need to get a bigger wattage PSU then it recommends :)

I have done that it says 344w but I don't think a 400w power

supply will be enough :)
