I've bought a new graphics card the 780ti. But now while i'm gaming, my pc randomly shuts off.
I don't know what's the reason for it.

These are my specs:

Intel Core i5 3570k
ASrock extreme4 z77
Corsair h100i
Corsair Obsidian 750D
ASUS GTX 780ti
G.Skill 2x4gb (8gb) 1600mhz
Corsair TX650 Watt
Seagate 1TB HDD
Adata 120GB SSD
Samsung 250GB SSD

My system is not under full load, maybe it's my psu that can't handle my GPU?

Thanks in advance,

FragzZ

This sounds simple, but have you updated your graphics card's driver to the newest version?

I did some research and many people have experienced that same issue with that card. The problem is the fan speed of the gpu is not set right. Try getting something like MSI Afterburner and let it set the clock speed of the GPU fan.

Sounds like the PSU, most definitely. What is your PSU?
I can pick out the best option for you if it needs to be replaced. :) 

EDIT; I just noticed you have included your PSU in the specs, I missed that before, sorry.
That PSU should be enough to power your 780ti so I'm stumped. You may have a faulty PSU.

What are your GPU and CPU temps as reported by Realtemp, HWmonitor and GPU-Z while gaming before it shuts off?

Hmm as far I know while playing BF4 on ultra, Temperature is 80 en fan speed is about 55%. CPU temperature is around 45. So yeah.

EDIT: I also like to mention It's not every game I play, it happens randomly.

Those temps are very high for a 780ti. But it shouldn't be a problem :/ 
I'll think about it and get back to you. my guess is that you have a dodgy PSU, though.
