Freshly Built computer crashes and shuts off without any warning when playing any game for more than 20 minutes. In order to start the computer again I have to unplug the power cord and plug it back in before I start it or it wont run.

Specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8mtkt6

At first I thought the cpu was overheating but when I checked Speccy it seemed to never go above 46C and the gpu never overheated either, what could be causing these crashes?
 
Solution
Probably a faulty PSU. The corsair builder series isnt the highest quality. The need to disconnect the power suggests that the power system needs 'resetting'.

Try getting something with a slightly higher quality like an EVGA supernova for example.
