My system is running of a corsair 550vx unit ,everything is OC'ed and I am getting some system lockups in games lately especially if I ad some mhz to the GPU. Do I need a larger PSU?

You still might want to change your PSU. Nvidia recommends a minimum of 600W PSU for a stock 480.
What? 850w is for SLI GTX 480's, not one.Originally Posted by JorundJ;14134274
To be on the save side, yes. It's always wise to have some space when overclocking. I think a 750w/850w will be enough.
It doesn't matter what Nvidia "recommends".Originally Posted by N3Xus;14138401
