Need help finding the right PSU

[pete372b]

So, im currently using my computer with the following components:

GPU: MSI GTX 970 OC

CPU: AMD Phenom X4 II 965

RAM: 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3

MOBO: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula

CASE: Zalman Z3 Plus (White)

 

My current PSU seems to be faulty, though i could be wrong so an answer to that question would be nice too.

My Computer randomly gets a Blackscreen, theres no sound at all, and sometimes i can even see my cursor. The fans are still spinning. The only way to make the computer work is to do a hard restart of it.

Expecting this is my PSU doing this.

Also, since my CPU is rather old. I was now thinking about upgrading that too, while im looking at a new PSU too.

I came across an upgrading packages containing the following:

 

CPU: Intel i5-6400 Skylake

MOBO:  ASUS H110M-A, Socket-1151

RAM:  Crucial DDR4 2133MHz 8GB (2x4GB)

 

Now, i dont have alot of knowledge when it comes to what components are best compatible with each other, and how much you need of this and that to make it optimal.

So i thought i'd ask you guys what PSU would be optimal for a build with:

 

GPU: MSI GTX 970 OC

CPU: Intel i5-6400 Skylake

MOBO:  ASUS H110M-A, Socket-1151

RAM:  Crucial DDR4 2133MHz 8GB (2x4GB)

CASE: Zalman Z3 Plus (White)

there is a website www.powersupplycalculator.net if you want to experiment with different pc build combos

and also if you have the budget try get a 80+ psu

another website is http://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator

Im no good at power supplies other than Corsair's, but i will tell you this: If its cheap, dont buy it. Cheap PSU's have lower-quality capacitors wich can deliver unstable voltages, and thus may damage any components you have.

This has more power than you need, but it is a solid psu at a good price (Assuming you are in the USA).
