Re: FFXI FPS problems.

That would be your PSU as it low quality and its most likely starting to fail now.

You should be running this

Corsair 650w (same price as Corsair 550w)
$100
after rebate $80

This should fix it instantly

I'll give a quick comparison of the Corsair 550w to the BFG 550w PSU

BFG

Corsair
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139004

BFG 550w
- 80%+ efficiency
- temperature rated at 25C for stability
- 2 x 12v rails at 18amps each = 36amps (doesn't add up perfectly like that usually)

Corsair 550w
- 80% + efficiency
- temperature rated at 50C for stability
- one 12v rail @ 41amps


Those are some of the main things to look at
