PC Shutting down
So basically I have ran to this issue. When I'm playing some high end games (Shadow of Mordor for example right now) my PC tends to shut down. Restart, no blue screen no nothing, just a plain old restart. So I am thinking, is this because of temperature or could there be any other issue?
I'm using GIGABYTE 780 Ti GHz edition with 450W fans. At first I thought this would be because my PSU can't handle this monstrosity as it was only 650W but I swapped it for a 850 Corsair and the thing is still happening.
Would be glad if you could recommend something. Or maybe tell me if it is not some other part of PC, like a CPU or something.

Never gets over 50°C. I suspect it to be the GPU which gets over 80°C + when running performance heavy games without Vsync on, to get higher fps, when running with Vsync it is capped to 60fps and generally nothing happens. But is it normal for a GPU that has 3 fans to even get this hot while the case has good airflow and even 4 got chassis fans?
To give you some more info. I crashed in a heavily modded Skyrim (150+ mods) after about 45 minutes and crashed In vsync of Far Cry 3 after about the same time.
I play league on 200+ FPS with no problem though, but that game is not graphics heavy that's true.
