I got 10 minutes into playing GRID and a spark flew out of my PSU. The regulator in it cracked in half

The power supply was only a 430w thermaltake psu. When i purchased it i never planned on having so many parts in my pc.

It was powering
2x Raptor WD Drives
3x Seagate Drives
1x DVD Burner
Radeon 4850
Radeo X850
My koolance watercooling setup
