Power supplies

Since I turned my computer on today, I have been getting slight worries about whether my power supply isn't holding out like it has done, My specs are

Amd Athlon 640 (3.00Ghz) Proccessor
Arctic Freeze Cooler 7 Pro
8GB Ram
MSI 870-C45 AMD 770 Chipset (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
Sapphire 5830 1GB
500w Elite power supply

The same power supply that comes with the CM 430 Elite bundle (case & PSU). I got a blue screen error today and I don't want to risk my equipment for the sack of a nakered PSU. So what would you guys recommend for a decent £60-80 unit?

Thanks

Some good options below, are you sure its the PSU! BSOD does not mean a faulty or problematic psu.

This is true but my graphics card seems to also be drawing a lot of power with it performing rather tacky lately and all drivers are up to date. And if I am honest I think it is a worthy upgrade anyway
