Ohhhh... ok xD.... Hows an RM750 sound, there is one Currently available. 

Could do better for the price of an RM where I come from. Anything from EVGAs G2/GS/GQ/B2?

I have a sapphire HD 5450,it was an awesome card, but the poor guy died. so I upgrade to an r9 290x Tri-x 4gb OC from sapphire (again). but Im only using a 600w power supply. so I checked forums and discussions about running an r9 290x with a 600w power supply. Some said its ok.

but a month later. im having this random shut downs (once a day).. my monitor disconnects from my pc.. but the tower is still running.. i need to restart my pc... its really annoying. sometimes it can be trigger when I hit my table very hard (when i Rage xD)... Im not sure if My card is faulty or should i Upgrade my Power Supply... what do you think guys?

 

My rig:

Cpu : I5 3470 up to 3.6GHz (w/ Aftermarket Cooler)

GPU : Sapphire R9 290x Tri-X 4GB 

Mobo : Gigabyte GA-h77-d3h

RAM : 2x Corsair 4Gb ddr3

PSU : Cougar Sl 600

OS : Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

 

2 7200Rpm Hdds

1 Optical Disk Drive

4 120mm FANS

No 290X shall be disgraced with a Cougar PSU. Get something decent. 600W is plenty. Check out the PSU whitelist in my sig.
