When i am using my computer and play games my computer suddenly restart when the GPU gone full load or entering intensive graphics games, i am just confused if what is wrong with my systemand what components i have to replace.

here is my system specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8370E
MOTHE BOARD: MSI 970 GAMING Mobo
MEMORY: 4x4GB RAM 1866 CL10
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GB
PSU: Corsair VS650
1 SSD-1HD 7200RM
5 120MM FAN and 1 radiator close loop pump water cooler
1 fan controller bay and 2 led light strip

I suspect that my PSU is the one is at fault here because it is a weak psu, but i want to look out for other components too because i am in a situation now that i don't want to buy parts if i am not sure that is not the one that causes the problem.
i checked all the temp of my system and it is on right temp not too low not too high, just normal the CPU the GPU and all the temp sensor of Mother Board.
I gone some stress test too with the CPU and it is not restarting itself, it is just restarting when the game tweaks the system load and graphics load.
Thank you for the answers!

Either brand model is excellent you can't go wrong with either one.

Common issue with CX and VS series Corsair PSU's. If you have a decent GPU as soon as it gets pushed the PSU fails. If you search the forum this issue is very common.

Get yourself an XFX TS 650, or a Seasonic S12 620, both will work well. The EVGA 750B2 while bigger than you need is also excellent and often available at a good discount.
