hey peeps. i got a quick question for yall

my system keeps kicking me to the desktop while im gaming and i suspect its due to my bullsh@t psu. even in 4 year old titles things go wrong. would either of you recommend the thermaltake toughpower 650w? the only thing somewhat readily available in this god forsaken town. quiet would be a big plus aswell.

my system consists of:
fx-60
a8n-sli dlx mobo
2gb ocz eb
gtx260
1 blue-ray drive
2 80gb hard drives in raid 0
enermax 465w psu

thanks a bunch

forgot to mention that the fx-60 is oc'd along with the ram at 250fsb. gpu not oc'd
 
Toughpowers are descent psus, i've had a 750watt one for 2 years now. It was powering my main comp till a few months ago. It was getting loud when i put that second 4870 card in. Its a good psu, however if you had more options there are better choices out there.
So don't have anything negative about them besides the noise levels when you heavily load them. Then again your system will not load it as much and a new unit wont be completely filled up with dust 😛

On the other hand are you positive its the psu? Tried updating the drives, checking mem/cpu stability? Since your overlocking that could be a possibility.
