You should upgrade, but the G1 is pretty bad too. Anything that's >=450w and from tier 1-3 from the PSU tier list in my signature would be good.

You should change that PSU anyway, but not to that one. 

 

EVGA's W1 series are bad (your current one) and the NEX series isn't good. 

 

You can run that system comfortably on a 550W. NewEgg currently has a nice rebate on the 550W G3, which is an excellent PSU at a very good price right now.

The EVGA G1 isn't great. Group-regulated unit among a lot of much better EVGA units for the same price.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
