Hmm. When you play CS:GO do you have your framerate limited (vsync) or does it reach very high fps? If you're reaching high FPS, your GPU may be pulling too much power from your PSU, which I don't see listed.

Without knowing your Power Supply, it will be difficult to diagnose power related issues. Do you mind posting your PSU specs?

Does this mean you can play other games normally or longer?
it might be cause your Gpu started to run hot: what does GPUz/CPUz tell you in terms of heat?
another possibility might be that the PSU does not deliver enough power
