I'm having a lot of stability issues recently, and I suspect they're all due to my ancient (~5 years old) PSU; a 700W OCZ. It's recently started restarting mid-gaming (5 minutes into Guild Wars 2, 10 minutes into Skyrim) and occasionally restarting whilst I'm just browsing! I've also had a string of HDD issues, with them disappearing and appearing, and requiring disconnect/reconnects to get them back again.
I used the http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp calculator, which recommended 533W. As I'm planning to upgrade to an i7 in a few months, I thought I would try to future-proof this purchase a little, by aiming for 650W-750W.
Also, I have the Thermaltake HAF 932, which is huge, and currently have to stretch my power cables to their limit to reach the CPU power input at the top of the motherboard.
I'm currently looking at this : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-044-SS&tool=3
I don't want to cheap out, but I'm moving house within the month, so I also have to be budget concious. Would love any advice you all can spare me!
