Hi guys!
I'm looking into upgrading my PC and pretty much decided on getting a new GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" to replace my GTX670 along with a NZXT Kraken X61 to replace my chunky Noctua DH14, unless I'm convinced otherwise.
I currently have a NZXT phantom 410 Midi case, within it a Maximus Formula V MB with an i5 3570k OC'd to 4.2GHz. I've currently got 2x8G Corsair Vengence RAM due to the other 2 slots being blocked by the Noctua (I have another 2x8G in the drawer collecting dust. -->that being said though, I doubt I'll be able to use them anyway as one pair is the corsair vengeance LP 1600MHz and the other is the corsair vengeance with the tall pointy top at 1866MHz, if anyone wanna buy a pair off me i'm open to offers
or if they can teach me to make both pairs work together, even better!)
Anyways carrying on, I was lacking knowledge on PSUs and the importance of them when i originally built this PC. I have a OCZ Fatal1ty Series High-Performance 750W PSU, and I think this was causing my GFX card to randomly 'black-out' when running more intensive games for a period of time, either that or my GFX card was overheating, but I've got quite a few fans running around the case.
So would love suggestions on a decent PSU to upgrade to around the £100 mark (less would be better but don't want to sacrifice performance).
I appreciate any help I get!
