So I have a Logisys 575w PSU, powering a i5-3570 and a EVGA GTX 660 superclocked. When playing BF3 (Hasn't happened in any other games as Iv'e tested) about 10-15 mins in, my computer just spontaneously restarts. GPU and CPU temps are fine, neither have ever gone over 45°c. Should I get a new PSU or what. (I also have a 300w PSU that I could use. Would that hold up with my rig?)
 
Get a new PSU. Logisys is not a good brand.
300W PSU no good for GTX 660. Get a decent 500W

Which country you from?
 
Your powering a pretty good rig there, I would do it justice by installing a good power supply like, corair, antec etc.

Try and get one that is at least bronze certified.
 
Okay, so in the future I'm thinking about getting a second gtx 660 and SLIing them.
1: Is that a good idea (I just want that option for Battlefield 4)
2: What wattage should I get?
I just don't want to have to buy a new graphics card when I upgrade and then have no use for my current one. I would like to have the psu now so I don't have to get a new one when I feel like upgrading.
 
You could buy one 770 or 780, and use the 660 as a physx card. I've seen 460's be used in a similar manner and have no problem what so ever.

According to Nvidia's website these are the power requirements for one 780.

Thermal and Power Specs:
95 CMaximum GPU Temperature (in C)
250 WGraphics Card Power (W)
600 WMinimum Recommended System Power (W)
One 8-pin and one 6-pin

So, 250 watt power draw on one 780, So an 850 watt or higher PSU should do.

That PSU has 4x8 pin connectors, well, 6+2 which would easily power SLI 780's.
