I've built my PC nearly two years ago without any issues, but recently I started experiencing random shutdowns while playing demanding games like Baldur's Gate 3 and Frostpunk 2. The computer just turns off completely, and I have to switch the power off and then on again at the PSU to get it started again. I've heard this could be a failing power supply unit (PSU) issue. I'm using a 750-watt FSP Hydro Pro, which was recommended to me, and according to PCPartPicker, my system's estimated power draw is around 616 watts. That should be sufficient, right? If you need more specs, I have linked my system build, and I'm willing to do some research if I know what to look for.

You might want to consider that even though your PSU is rated for 750w, it could struggle with sudden power spikes. Upgrading to an 850w PSU might be a good idea. I've had a similar setup, and switching to the Corsair RM850x made a huge difference for me. Just adding some headroom could really help!
Thanks for the suggestion! So, would you say the Corsair 850 is a solid choice?
