Here is my current PC.

FX-6300
Sapphire RX 470 Nitro
2x Corsair 4GB 1600Hz
Asrock 970 Pro3 R2.0
2x Seagate 500GB

My current PSU is Corsair VS 550, but after i upgrade my GPU from MSI R9 270, my pc always auto restart without error when playing heavy games. (The temperature CPU 56° , GPU 68° celcius)
Some of user in this forum said that i need to upgrade my PSU. is it true?

Any advice to fix this problem?
Thank you! :D

I would suspect the PSU, mainly because while it is a Corsair, it's a budget Corsair. How old is it? PSUs don't last forever, especially in warmer environments. Your card draws more power under heavy load, this is why the power supply is a suspect.

Im having a simluar issue. Whenever I run a game around 10-20 mins in my PC restarts randomly. I recently upgraded my RAM, Motherboard and CPU and suspect its my PSU playing up as I currently only have a 500w PSU.

But back to your issue head onto your PC and go to WINDOWS EVENT MANAGER.
Then go to CRITICAL and there should be a EVENT ID displayed. With my issue my EVENT ID is 41. Yours seems like a simular issue. Then Google the ID and it should direct you to what is wrong with your PC.
