Dear sifu

Im planning to upgrade my rig as my pc starting to black screen itself when im playing game and i've been told it might be my gpu or psu problem. So far, the only solution is to downclock my gpu and im very annoyed by performing the same thing everytime before i launch a game. Please suggest what to upgrade.

Intel Core I5 3470
Asrock H77 Pro4/MVP
Gskill SNIPER 2x4GB DDR3 1600mhz
WD 1TB Caviar Blue

Get a new GPU (likely to be GTX1060/RX480) and a new decent PSU like EVGA SuperNova/Superflower Leadex Gold series, both items will cost you less than 2k.

Ignore the ridiculously overpriced Vega 64. GTX 1080 Ti will laugh at it. WD Blue 2TB is 5400rpm btw.
