I installed a new 700w PSU and the problem seems to be worse now. Froze on the deskstop 3 times now instead of in games like it normally does.

I was wiggling the video card around a bit when i was installing the PSU, maybe it is loose in the slot.

Newegg.com - COOLMAX CL-700B 700W ATX 12V V2.3 Power Supply - Power Supplies

This is the PSU i try'd out. Tell me if its any good.

To chime in here, while that is a cheap power supply (a $59 dollar 700w power supply should tell you something), I suspect a quality power supply still won't fix the issue you're having. Switching out parts without proper diagnoses is expensive, and frustrating as you just found out :o

If the video card isn't properly seated and/or you're having "fitting" problems, i'd start there.

Just my two cents ;)
