I'm planning on building a new PC but I want to carry over the Graphics card. I have a 650ti 2gb and my PC will automatically turn off when running a demanding game, like GTA V, I am 90% sure this is a CPU issue (I have a the AMD FX8350 Black Edition) and I am confident it is overheating. I've monitored the temp using 'speed fan' and it suggests that this is the issue but I want to sure that I don't have a graphics card issue, is there a way to check this?

Btw i know the 650ti isnt the best card out there and i plan to upgrade in the future but want to know this for the short term.

Thanks
