It all started a year ago when Fallout 4 came out, bought it played it for about an hour then sudden computer shut off started to happen.
After this games like CS:GO and recently Wow legion is now shutting off all of sudden.
I have some ideas of what it could be, PSU most likely, and a friend thought it could be the MOBO or Ram.

I've pretty much taken a year off from gaming, only playing runescape (a game that wouldn't make my computer shutoff)

Specs
CPU: fx 8350
GPU: Gigabyte r9 280x
Ram: Ripjaw DDR3 8GB
PSU ThermalTake Smart 750w Bronze
MOBO: Gigabyte 990fx

Please give me feedback, I do plan on upgrading the graphic card give me ideas too, maybe this can fix it.
 
Solution
Could be heat issues, could be failing power supply, video card, RAM issue. Clean out system, re-do heatsink setup with new thermal paste, monitor temps. Test with a different power supply, test with a different video card or test yours in a good system.
