I'm hoping you haven't updated your Video drivers, if so, take a look at the 'Nvidia Drivers' link in my sig, make sure you are using the 84.21 drivers, you'll see why.

Even still, I don't know how to check whether or not it's getting enough power.

This just looks far too weak to me, i'm running a very similar system and i have quite a few more amps on both 12volt rails, nearly double in the case of the +12V2 (despite the fact that mine is only a 550 watt).
With PSU's, it's not only the quantity, but the quality that is important.
Have a read of the 'Power Supply Information' link in my sig as well, it's long but it is worth it.
You would need to be looking near the higher-end PSU's, take a look at some of the reccomendations and compare them to your current PSU. Personally i've never heard of Dynex, which means it's probably generic (aka, not good quality).
I know it sounds like i'm nailing your PSU here but that's all i can think it could be, you don't have any programs running in the background do you? If so, shut them down before playing. Aside from that i can't think of anything that could be causing the random slowdowns, you seem to know a fair bit, so i trust you've done full virus scans etc. etc.
If you need any more info or are unsure, feel free to ask.
