Problems since my mom ripped the power cord out of my computer and flipped it violently.

Every time I try to load up a high-end game, for instance Witcher III and GTA V, my computer BSODs. This doesn't happen with low-end games like Sims 4 and Geometry Dash, just the high-end ones.

My PC build is this:

I don't know what it may be, I've never had this problem on any computer.

Wait, she flipped the entire PC? That can cause all sorts of damage. Without any really specific information as to the damage, the best you're going to likely to be able to do -- unless you have additional information -- is swap out parts starting with the most likely to be damaged. I suspect the PSU is where to start, given that the problem appears to be at greater loads (PSU damage is frequently not a binary work/doesn't work thing).

Alright, I'll go buy some shitty CX PSU later to test. Or can I test it without doing that?

+1 to checking everything is still tight. pulling the power cord out may have corrupted some data on the hard drive if it was in use at the time, but doing a hadouken on a computer is sure to loosen something.
