Everytime im playing cs:go theres a point when my pc shutdowns, it happens randomly.
One of the cause i believe is that my gpu overheats.
What should i do or what you guys think is the problem?
and if is the gpu, any good cooler for my Gigabyte Nvidia gtx 680.
Thanks in advance.

My PC
CPU: Intel core i7 2670 QM
MOTHERBOARD: Asus Maximus IV Extreme
GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia gtx 680 3GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2x8GB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

That sounds like the problem. That PSU is a pretty terrible quality unit. Replace it with a 650w unit from a reputable manufacturer like Antec, XFX, Seasonic before it damages your system.

85c is warm, but not hot enough to shut it down. Plus if it was heat, it would bluescreen first then shut down, not just turn off.

To be clear, the computer turns off like someone pulled the plug, not properly shut down, correct?

The 680 doesn't usually run that hot. It could be a number of different things causing the shutdowns. It could be the RAM, CPU, Motherboard, or the Power Supply. If you had another computer to test the parts out on you could figure this out pretty easily. I am guessing that it's your power supply that's the problem.
