Should i worry if my powersupply makes a clicking sound every now and then? The puter have been making random reboots on it own

.. I got an 300W in and thinking of by my self an 450W to replace it...

Clicking does not sound good.

I would be concerned that the clicking is something electrical. If you are going for a 450W PSU, you will a have enough power for whatever you put into your BP6.

Pull it out now. It could fry your whole PC if you're really unlucky.

I agree with InactiveX, pull it for the time being. Is the fan on the power supply operating correctly?

I think so, it's moving and there is a small breze at the back side of it.

Anyway

I got my self a new case yesterday

with an 300W PSU (upgrading to a more powerfull in later on instead.) Had plans to get one anyway

Make sure its not a hard drive. I thought my PSU was clicking, it was my hard drive. A hard drive makes a clicking noise if its on its way out.
