this is the power supply in the rig.  only other things running is a old gtx 560, the mb and a harddive

edit

pulled one miner off the hub, and ran 2 at 450mhz and it got pretty stable (running dec18 build), anything lower than that i get resets and missing nonce
i guess i need more power to run 3...

it is a low quality psu.  or at best medium quality  it has 2 rails  for 12 volts.  each are 22 amps  so  you could have the pcie jack pulling on a 22 amp rail along with the mobo using that rail.  which  would mean  you do not get a full 22 amps to pull on.. 22 x 12 = 264 watts  which seems enough  but if the mobo and the  pcie jack share a rail

and the cpu pulls on the other 12 volt rail using the  cpu cable. in both case you are pulling on limited power amp wise

ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V
80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
100 - 240 V 47 - 63 Hz
+3.3V@24A, +5V@24A, +12V1@22A, +12V2@22A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2.5A

so one rail send say 12 amps to the mobo  and the other rail send 12 amps to the cpu cable

this means at best  there is only 10 amps left on either rail for your gear.

this gear is  a much better fit for you

only 69.99 after rebate  silver vs bronze  will save a few dollars every month  and it has power to spare  5 year warranty

It will be a better choice then the bronze you are using.
