Hi there,
Every six months or so I get the upgrade itch and begin researching, and the answer is almost always "it's just not worth it." However, recently my pc has been randomly powering down in the middle of gaming + web browsing on 2nd monitor and starting back up after 5 seconds. There are no heat problems, all connectors are properly attached, no shorting going on that I can determine, power supply works just fine on my other machine, as do both of my gpus - someone suggested by mobo's SB is the culprit - but I'd just be guessing at this point. This can happen once or twice per gaming session, or not for a couple days.
ANYWAY, the frequency of the above happening is causing me to want to actually pull the trigger and replace the "main" components of my current build.
Current build:

I definitely want to get away from SLI, but I don't think I want to do so just yet, and it's not an issue with the games I play right now anyway (Mostly WoW, Witcher 3, Civ V, Diablo 3, Skyrim)
I know this isn't a technical help forum with my restarting issue, but the few parts I have picked out - does anyone see any issues/concerns with it, or other recommendations?
I think I'm more comfy with 32 GB of ram, and I don't think there's much difference in gaming between an 850 evo and 960 evo.
Thanks for any comments
