It would still be good to post your PSU specs as the use of Molex connectors instead of the 6pin power plug is a good sign that your PSU is either fairly old or cheap.
I've had some issues with a poor power supply with my previous computer, but this one is less than six months old. As in, every single piece of hardware in it is more or less brand new. Here are the specs:
Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
8,00 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Gaming graphics 4095 MB Total available graphics memory
Primary hard disk 35GB Free (119GB Total)
Secondary hard disk 1TB
Here's the PSU, according to my order: 593204 Cooler Master GX 750W PSU ATX 12V V2.31, 80 Plus, Standard, 4x 6+2pin PCIe, 9x SATA, 120mm fan.
Full order:

(Sorry for the occasional Norwegian word! You probably get it though.)Now, let it be known that I'm no pro - I can fix most common issues with a computer, and I'm pretty good at keeping it dust free, and there's no way the ambient temp in my room should cause any problems, especially in Norway in the middle of the winter (well, it's still way too cold). I wouldn't know if there's anything wrong with my PSU though, nor if it's just a poor PSU. I have no clue, all I know is that as far as I can see, the only problem with my computer seems to be the graphics card.
As I've said, I'll be sending back the card tomorrow or the day after that, though if we can somehow solve this before I have to do that, that'd be great. If not, then hey, I'm getting a new card anyway... if it turns out it isn't the card that's causing the problem, then... well, then we know that.
Is there any other information I've forgotten that could be useful in troubleshooting?
EDIT:
EDIT: This only started a happening last week, while I was playing Skyrim. The game was crashing constantly, and while that turned out to be due to some conflicting mods, I happened to check the temps of the components, and my GPU was going above 80 most of the time. After I got Afterburner, this seemed to stop, but then a few days later it started happening again, this time in Battlefield 3, though at the moment I seem to be able to play Skyrim while the GPU sits around 40-60 celsius.
But it just occurred to me that I had disabled vsync in Battlefield 3 in order to get more than 60 FPS, and I just tried enabling it again, and the temps seems to be going back to normal. Is this normal? I don't mind playing with vsync, I'll still get 60 FPS most of the time, and so what if it dips down to 30 every now and then... though I would of course prefer it to run in 120 like I was getting, but if that's too much, then I suppose there isn't much I can do about that at the moment.
