Here are my specs
PSU: Thermalink ATX-XG500W
CPU: AMD FX(tm)-4300 Quad-Core
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3GB
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
I am somewhat new to PC gaming and building PC's. The case I have for my system is pretty small, the GPU has very little clearance in my case, I had to almost force it inside it.

So what happens is I play a game like DayZ, or Elite Dangerous, and the temperatures of GPU go up to about 50-60 degrees C. Although when I feel my GPU it feels cool to the touch, but my power supply does not. What happens is the PC will completely shut off with no warning and then the only thing on is the power LED light and it blinks. If anyone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

I ran DayZ, computer didnt crash or shut off for some odd reason, but the temperature of the GPU whilst playing was 56-65
degrees celsius. I'm unsure of the temperature of the PSU at the moment.
