Your PSU does not even list basic 80+ certification. That is a nearly automatic red flag in my book for random system stability issues since even so-so PSUs often have at least basic 80+ or even 80+ Bronze certification these days.

Which MSI mobo is it? Are you using the stock cooler, or something better? Your temps are high; your CPU is probably throttling at that temp. The MSI 970A-G4x series boards have weak VRMs; they could also be throttling, although they're also known to simply croak when overloaded.
"Energon" isn't listed in today's article on PSU makers, which suggests to me it's a cheap generic. It may begin to wander out of spec at 50% of its claimed wattage, which could lead to instability and crashes. You may be pulling 300W out of it under a gaming load, so it could be a part of your problem even more so than the heat.

One case fan? Where? I would suggest whatever else you do, you get at least one more, so you have one drawing air in at the front, and one expelling air at the back - another expelling air from the top of the case would also be a good idea
