So my computer always randomly turns off whenever I play overwatch, it's only when I play this 1 game, I can play other games completely fine. I've listed the important specs that I think might have something to do with it down below.

CPU - AMD FX 8320e
GPU - EVGA GTX 960
PSU - Corsair CX 430w

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

First guess is your PSU is the problem.

You're right on the edge of your GPU's power requirement. If it's working hard it may be going over the threshold of what your PSU can put out. Also the CX line was not very well made, so it maybe not be giving the GPU enough juice in general.

A known good PSU to test, or a new one of good quality would be a good starting point.
