Hi again wolfwiser,
This issue could still be attributed to the RAM [not being totally seated properly], as well as the CPU.
As I mentioned earlier, the CPU won't show any signs of stress until its been running for a while.
When you reseated the CPU, did you reapply the thermal paste correctly? If you aren't too sure, just go to the link, in my signature, "Applying Artic Silver™ Thermal Paste", and double check please.

As for my PSU I recon I need approx 416W (including the additional 30%), however my PSU was based more on price and advertised wattage rather and little else.

To adequately cover your needs, and taking into account dai's recommendation about including the new graphics with the PSU calculations; I sincerely believe that you need to look at a good quality 500W - 550W PSU. Based on quality and not price.
Have you been able to get any temperatures when the machine is operating, or isn't it on long enough?
Let us know the answers to these queries.
