PC Restarts whilst gaming

Is this PSU a good buy:

OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £72.98

It's currently in the Weekly Deal section and I might buy it.

In other news the machine just crashed out whilst streaming video to my 360.

Also I did a stress test on my Processor and max temp is about 55c.

I really want this problem solved (i'm dying to see what my new Processor can do combined with my 460 GPU)

Right click my computer on the start menu, properties. If your running Windows 7 on the left click on Advanced System Settings, View the Startup and Recovery Settings and make sure that Automatically Restart is unchecked.

Ok just ordered the PSU, fingers crossed it rules out my power supply!
I have disabled Automatic Restart but when this problem occurs it doesn't show the BSOD it just goes straight to BIOS bootup.

Lets see how things go Friday, I will update then.
 
If you just want a PSU that works with your build, and nothing fancy, you can get away with a £50 unit.

BeQuiet L7 530W (35A@12V) £45.
OCZ ModXStream 500W Modular (35A@12V) £48.
Antec High Current Gamer 620W (48A@12V) £62.

Thanks but I am planning (sometime in the future) to add another nVidia 460 in SLI configuration. 750w is future proofing my rig if I want to do the above addition.
 
OK Update Time.

The countdown to the delivery of my new PSU starts now, it should arrive sometime today. In other news my PC crashed out whilst updating iTunes! It seems to be doing this to annoy me (maybe it's become sentient and it knows how to push my buttons!).

Anyhoo I will update again when the PSU is installed.

Laters.
