PSU going bad?

While gaming today my system shutdown unexpectedly. This is the 5th time this year. I checked the Event Viewer and I get a critical event type with Event ID 41 Kernel-Power. Microsoft's support page states that this is likely due to a faulty, dying or insufficient power supply. My current PSU is a Corsair TX-650. I didn't think my system would require more than 500W of power, so maybe it's dying on me. I'm not sure if I should buy a new one rated for 750+ watts with an 80+ gold certification or what. This problem doesn't occur often enough and I can't make it happen on my own to diagnose the problem and I don't have a spare PSU with a high enough wattage to check this. Any suggestions?
