I recently built my own computer and it has been running fine the last few days. Just this morning it will shut down if I run any game. (Starbound, Dragon Nest, Far Cry 3)

I thought at first it was because I did not clean off the previous thermal paste from the cpu when building, so I went and cleaned it off using Qtips and isopropyl alcohol then reapplied the paste for a new layer. This did not help it and it still continued to shut down.
Then I tried putting a fan next to the tower to help regulate flow and it helped for a little bit then crashed again.
It would really be awesome if someone would be able to help me with this problem, are there any tests I could run to see if I need to replace something? I was thinking of getting a water cooling system for my system.
I was already planning on the water system but I need to know if I should replace something before I invest in one. (I am not the richest fellow on the block)
Please reply with anything I need to add to help make this process easier to understand.
