Ive noticed recently that the power supply seems to get rather hot and was wondering if i need to upgrade to something like this:

If your PSU is getting too hot and loud, then an RMA is probably in order.
850w is enough for your setup

RMA your power supply, you have a huge warranty with it.

700W should be more than enough for your setup, let alone 850. dont know why the PSU is getting too hot under that kind of load:

Is the PSU fan running?
