Computer keeps shutting off while playing games.

Hi, I just built a computer. This is the link http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ajlec12/saved/32ty except that i replaced the power supply with a 600w and my hard drive with a 3.5 inch. So when i am using it normally it works fine. I can play some games like payday, the first one, for like 15 min then my computer shuts off. Then when i play games like metro it only can play for like 2 min then my computer shuts off. I thought this was a power issue because my psu was used but i replaced it with a brand new one. Ive also ran the burn in test for 15 min on furmark and it was fine.

I may be because of overhesting of our graphics card or most probably over heating on your processor.

I ran the furmark burn in test and my gpu seemed to be fine while overclocking. Would my processor have an issue that quickly if i messed up the thermal paste a bit? I did take me awhile to get the fan on with the thermal paste because this is my first build.

Yes it may be with your CPU.You CPU may get to warm and PC shuts down to protect your CPU from getting damage.Do you have and cooler on CPU.
If I recommend you to buy CM 212 Evo its cheap and best for price it keeps you cpu cool and good for overclocking also.
