I am in a beliefe I should upgrade my PSU. I would like you to confirm this or tell me no before I do.

My system,
PSU; Corsair VS650 - Refurbished from Scan.co.uk a year ago.
CPU; AMD FX 8350
RAM: 16GB DDR3 @1866mHz - HyperX
MOBO: Gigabyte FX990UD3
GFX; Asus ROG Rx580 8GB
I have a SanDisk SSD 120GB OS only
250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200k drive for steam games.

The Issue us When I am playing a game, GTA V or Elite Dangerous, and even games Like Dust and the assassins Creed Series' all games will run on ultra No Problems, I have it set to 1440 display even though I run on a 4K Screen I get 55-62FPS in games.
The Computer will reboot it will just cut out and reboot without warning, my assumption is that this is a power fault in not getting enough power so the system shutdown because of it.

I have a budget of about £200-£300.
I would like to get one that can later be used for a ThreadRipper when I upgrade, if I upgrade, but I would like to upgrade anyway.
I have an ATX Case at this Time, will be upgrading to larger case shortly as well to enable better cooling system. (Side is off to enable better air flow around components.

CPU and GPU temps under load? Done any overclocking?

Could be the PSU, the VS series isn't very good. And we don't really know how old it is. I wouldn't rule out the PSU but I would look at other possibilities before you start condemning hardware.

No overclocking,
CPU idle 20dC full load between 60-70dC
GPU Idle 40dC Full Load never seen it over 62dC (40dC idle because fans don't spin till it hits 55dC)

In the Bios I have it set to tell me a warning of CPU temp at 90dC
