You should try making sure your motherboard isn't screwed onto the case too tight, they can break the board, or cause some issues. Also, make sure all wires are completed seated into their connectors. Are you able to use a different CPU instead of the current one? Try checking that your CPU cooler is plugged in any working. I'm not sure what your power supply unit is, but you might not have enough power being sent to the components. When you game and the CPU/GPU attempts to draw more power than there is possible, it will shut down like what is happening to you currently. Also, sorry for the poor sentence structure myself. Try all of those and report back here, thanks!

I've been right where you were before, pretty stressful and annoying.

I don't think all motherboards include this for free, but you should get a case speaker, it's a very small wire with a black circle at the end that plugs into the motherboard directly, when you power on the computer, it will beep in a certain way, you can then look those beep codes up online and it will tell you where your computer is failing to post. I will post more on this later today, just wanted to get that out there.
