Do i need to upgrade my PSU?

RemoteChicken

Hey all, when playing assetto corsa my game commonly crashes every now and again.
ive noticed that my CPU/GPU/RAM usage is floating around 80% or higher.

Was gonna upgrade my components but had a thought maybe my PSU isnt able to deliver enough power? Attached is my PSU below

Specs

H97M-E

4460 (3.2/3.4)

8GB DDR3

Strix 950 OC'd

Was thinking either i upgrade my psu or get a local deal thats been up for another 8gb and a 4590 (3.3/3.7)

Thank you for your input

There is no mention of PSU below?

Also - your currrent system should be very low power...

 

 

Edit: now a wild jpg appears.

I edit my posts more often than not

A psu upgrade is not needed if you have a 350w powersupply, or higher. That sytems power intake will be very low.

It's a bad PSU, but the crash doesn't seem like a problem with the PSU.

Not a great psu but ok for your system.

 

Upgrading to a 4590 is beyond pointless and wasted money as it's just a very small increase in clockspeeds. Don't throw away your money and don't buy it.
