Ok, my PC has been through a lot recently;
My 660 started to artifact, already made a thread and temporarily replaced it with a 760.
the other night my OCZ 500w PSU set fire to my optical drive. (big image below)

Temporarily replaced with a Enermax Galaxy 800w

Currently trying to figure out any other damage caused by the OCZ PSU, currently I'm experiencing a lot of stuttering in both audio and some video (was playing Dark Souls 2 earlier and I had some pretty irritating stutter going on).
Whenever streaming/downloading from the internet, experiencing a lot of audio stuttering. Unsure exactly how that's happening since it's not consistent. Any interaction with Steam consistently causes audio/video stutter from online sources.
Also, occasional shut-downs are occuring, no BSOD just turns off. This started occurring after installing the 760, with both PSUs.
